Note: Mrs. Sarah Dickinson, Wyoming Pioneer and Old-Time Carbonite - Mrs. Sarah Dickinson, now of Elk Mountain, formerly a resident of Carbon and Hanna can truly be said to be a pioneer mother of Wyoming. She raised her family in Carbon during the very early days, and was one of the homes whose hospitality gave the old town its name for the best obtainable good times, for the unfailing sympathy and sincerity that marked the early west. Mrs. Dickinson was sixty-nine years old last month, and came to Wyoming right after the railway. She is spending the winter in Denver, but makes her home at ElkMountain in the summer. She is a member of the Episcopal Church and helped in the early development of the church in Wyoming.
She has two sons and two daughters: Mrs. M. Reese of Hanna, Mrs. J. L. Baird of Denver, Thomas Dickinson and William Dickinson of Hanna.
