Brown's Park Pioneer Weds
A number of friends have received cards announcing the marriage of Mrs. E.E. Mason of Seattle, Wash and Mr. J.S. Hoy, of Ladore, Colo. The wedding occurred at Green River April 25th, at 10 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Hoy will be at home to their friends after June 1st, at the Pioneer Ranch, Ladore, Colo.

Mr. and Mrs. Hoy called on a number of friends in this city on their way to the Park and received their good wishes and congratulations. Mr. Hoy is one of the pioneer residents of this country and has a large acquaintance in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. Mrs. Hoy has recently lived in Seattle and visited this country a number of years ago and is glad to return to the mountains once more. The Miner wishes them many years of happiness and prosperity.

When Phemie decided to marry J.S. Hoy in 1909, I do not think she had ever been to Hoy's ranch at Brown's Hole. My Aunt Dorothy said Phemie had done much of the journey on horseback (also a first). We thought she was incredibly brave not only to have married Hoy (9 years older) but also to have launched herself into the unknown on horseback to take up residence in a rather wild place after a lifetime in midwest farming communities and then Spokane. She was a schoolteacher in both Iowa and Nebraska before becoming a Christian Science healer.
