Excerpt from a story written by Addie Harper as published in the Sheridan County Heritage Book published in 1983 with permission from the Sheridan County Extension Homemakers Council.)
Addie Sanders, daughter of Ada and Jerry Sanders of Story and Floyd Harper son of Emma and Joe Harper of Banner were married in Sheridan on November 29, 1911. They spent their first winter in the little house just north of the Story School. In the spring they moved to a ranch on North Fork of Power River out of Kaycee. There was a lot of open range where they ran cattle using the S L Y brand – now owned by their son George. Floyd had to go on the round-up twice a year. After six years on Powder River, they moved to the home ranch at Banner which his father had bought from Jerome N. Stanley on October 10, 1884. They ran cattle and sheep and also had summer range on the mountains. To get there, they went up the Red Grade above Big Horn past the Big Goose Ranger Station and Preacher Rock to the Twin Lake country. The mountain range lay at the headwater of West Fork of Big Goose. The sheep were trailed to the mountains July 1 and brought home the end of August. During this time it was necessary to take supplies up to camp every week. Pack horses would meet the wagon or car and take the supplies on to camp. This often included 150 pounds of salt on each horse. The highest camp was “on top,” Twin Lakes, Stull Lake, Little Stull Lake, Coney Lake, Lost Lake, Duck Pond and Wilderness Creek were in this range. The Harpers being the first to have this area were responsible for developing all trails and bridges. The sheep and grazing permit were sold just prior to World War II.
Floyd and Addie also had a ranch near Ulm in partnership with Floyd’s brother Clyde and a state lease on the Jim Creek divide.
Floyd was chairman of the Sheridan County Agricultural Stabilization Committee for twenty years and one of the founders of the local Farmer’s Co-op Oil Company serving on the original board of directors. He was also a member of the Banner School Board for many years. He served as election judge, Banner Community Club trustee, president of Piney Cruse Creek ditch company and a member of Sheridan Elks Lodge.
Addie has always been active in the community. She has been a member of homemaker clubs for 67 years and is a charter member of the Banner Club. She is a member of the Presbyterian Church, Trustee of Banner Community Club and has held membership in V.F.W. Auxiliary and B.P.O. Does.
Addie and Floyd’s only child, George, attended school at Banner – grades one through eight and graduated from Sheridan High School in 1943, then joined the Navy.
Back in the early days, the community was just like a big family. We had a community Thanksgiving dinner and also a New Years dinner and played cards or whatever anyone wanted to do for amusement. During World War II the women of the community met the troop trains each Sunday and provided food and coffee for the servicemen. We also rolled bandages at the hospital once a month for many years.
Our club house was built in 1928. As a result of much hard work and dedication on the part of all the community people, $800.00 was raised to finance the original building. Through the years there have been additions and improvements to the club house.
On May 30, 1982, Addie celebrated her 90th birthday with an open house at the Banner Club house.
Floyd passed away on January 28 in 1962.
