Lulu 'Belle' Belle DewingPop-up Pedigree Burial*: Lot 173, Alva, Crook County, Wyoming, U.S.A. Note*: Lulu Belle Dewing was born the 22 of January, 1857, at White Creek, AdamsCounty, Wisconsin to Mahon Dewing and Amanda Bacon. Their ancestors aretraced to Lord Bacon of England and to Benjamin Franklin. On the 6th of October, 1875 she married Charles Worthington French. Theymoved to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where Lulu Amanda was born the 12th ofAugust, 1877. In 1878 they moved to Dakota Territory near Egan, where Charles’ parentshad filed on land by 'Squatters Right.' Charles also filed on land anda sod house was erected on the rolling prairie. Belle twisted tallprairie grass to use as fuel along with cow chips. Charles freighted fromFlandreau to Egan. Here two children were born, Lana, the 9th of July,1879 and Victor Mahon, the 1st of June, 1881. Their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Louis M. Hulett and family decided to go onwest with California as their destination. However, the country west ofthe Black Hills proved very favorable after a three hundred fifty milejourney. With winter soon to be upon them, they decided to settle on whatwas later named Hulett Creek, northeast Wyoming Territory. They enlargeda trappers dugout in which they spent the winter. The next spring theymoved to Black Tail Creek, the first family to settle in the area. Huletts wrote to the Frenches about the wonderful opportunities here, andencouraged them to come where there was plenty of land for farming, goodstreams, plenty of timber for building and firewood, wild game and furbearing animals. In June 1883 the Frenches, accompanied by Charlie Pettit, an elderlyone-armed man, and twenty-seven year old Charlie Dunlap, started forWyoming in a covered wagon containing a large wall tent, cook stove, andother belongings, pulled by a span of large mules. Twice they encounteredIndians with whom they shared their food and were left to travel on. Theyarrived at the Huletts the 9th of June, 1883. Along the way they met DaveDerrickson and George Richards families, also going to the Black Hills. The tent served as their home while the men erected a log house near thepresent town of Hulett, Wyoming. The five large logs for each side wererolled up with the mules, small logs were split then hewed smooth as aboard, called puncheon, for the floor. Smaller logs were split for theroof, then covered with hay. A half window and lumber were purchased inSpearfish, South Dakota for one dollar and fifty cents. Wooden hingeswere made for the door. The next spring French, Pettit and Dunlap returned to Dakota Territorynever to head west again, taking the wagon, mules and tent. This leftMrs. French and the three children with only an old white horse boughtfrom the 'D' cattle ranch for ten dollars. With a garden and meatsupplied by the cowboys and others the family managed very well. Mrs.French also made gloves from tanned skins which she sold to the cowboysfor one dollar a pair. The following year the concern for a school resulted in a meeting withWilliam Draper of Sundance, Wyoming. He had been appointed to see aboutschool interests in what later became Crook County. The interview provedsatisfactory and they were allowed twenty five dollars for a schoolhouseand fifty dollars for a period of six months for a teacher. Mrs. Frenchconsented to teach, however, she was required to take an examinationbefore the nearest County Superintendent of Schools at Deadwood, DakotaTerritory. The journey was made on horseback. The papers were forwardedto the Superintendent of Schools at Cheyenne, Wyoming. Lulu Belle Dewing Frenchbecame the first school teacher in the Hulett, Wyoming area. Mr. Hulett, with the help of cowboys, built a log Schoolhouse withbenches and a table. Pupils were Attie, Tom and Morgon Hulett, Lulu andLana French and Billie St. John, sixteen year old who came from Texaswith a trail herd and was staying at the 'D' winter camp in Barlow Canyon. On the 23rd of December, 1886, Lulu Belle and Dan A. Ruland were marriedin Sundance and lived on his pre-emption on Black Tail Creek. Their son,Dillon, was born the 25th of July, 1894. Later they moved to a ranch southwest of Alva, Wyoming, where they madetheir home until 1908. Then they bought the present townsite of Alva fromMr. and Mrs. Edward McWilliams. Mr. Ruland was appointed postmaster whenMrs. McWilliams resigned to move to College View, Nebraska. Alva continued to be their home the rest of their lives. Dan Rulandpassed away in April 1945 and Lulu Belle in August 1946. Both were laidto rest in the Alva Cemetery.

A poem written by Belle, BEAVER CREEK HOMEMAKERS CLUB We are glad the County Agent came out in sticks, To establish a Club for we poor country hicks. We've found we have brains though dormant they lay, Without an incentive to bring them into play. Our husbands who called it 'Homewrecking Club' Now make it convenient to come the 'Hub.' To bring in members, to meet with others. While they stick around to visit their brothers. They praise, too, the articles made without cost From material that would have been lost. If we had not found (now this is no pun) That two heads are always better than one. With twenty fertile brains combined When all are of one heart and mind. Just that, what twenty can complete By pooling ideas from brains so replete. We'll make Achievement Day a hummer When we meet at close of summer. Composed by Charter member Mrs. Dan (Belle) Ruland April 1937 for the Homemakers Messenger Event-Misc*: Alva Cemetery, Alva, Crook Co., Wyoming, Type: Fact #1 Birth*: 22 January 1859, White Creek, Adams County, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
