General Notes
- Homestead: SW/4 05 26N 3W 23, June 1898
  Sam Beaumont, who later married Lena, staked SW/4 06, next to Roy Webster. Moved to Wyoming about 1915 where they lived out their life.
  (There are two quarters there. Maybe they had both, on either side of Roy.)
  
  Ralph Webster: "By 1914, Uncle Sam and Aunt Lena, because of Aunt Lena's health, had made the decision to move to Sheridan, Wyoming. I remember going to their farm sale and watching the horses and cattle sell. They also sold their farming equipment and some household supplies.
  
  "The rest of their elongings, except for the few things they took with them, were prepared for shipment via railroad box car and shipped from Lamont to Sheridan, Wyoming.
  
  "For their transportation to Sheridan, Uncle Sam bought a new Chevrolet touring car and their son, Verl, drove the family to Sheridan. I remember the day the family gathered at Grandpa's house to bid them all 'Good-bye.'"
