Frank Yoder. attended school here in the winter of 1881 and 1882, being the only white pupil in attendance. Five daughters of Goodman attended this school, they being beadyeyed half-breeds of varying ages.

At the tap of the bell for intermission, noon or night, these girls would move silently to the door, but as soon as in the clear, they would scatter and run for the brush like scared rabbits. Then at the call bell they would silently re-emerge and file shyly into their seats.

Jess Yoder, a brother of H. F., arrived in 1882. The humble beginning developed and at sometime or another these Yoder boys have owned a lot of the ranches thereabout.

The Dollar ranch, on Bear creek ; the Greasewood ranch in the Goshen Holes, and several others, were owned at one time or another.

The Yoder-Marsh Company, consisting of Jess Yoder and a brother-in-law named Marsh, now own the old Y-cross ranch, which they bought nearly twenty years ago. The}' run three to four thousand cattle at this time.

H. F. Yoder, about five years ago, acquired the fine old Brown ranch near La Grange. This place had 3,160 acres of excellent land. Here Frank keeps in the neighborhood of one thousand cattle.

The Yoder boys are active in banking and finance in the Citizen's National Bank of Cheyenne, the Torrington National Bank at Torrinsrton, and elsewhere.

The Hawk Springs Development Company was of their conception, and from its reservoir it supplies water for several thousand acres of excellent farms in the heart of the Goshen Holes.
