Charles Worthington French
Note*: On 06 October, 1875, Charles married Lulu Belle Dewing in Egan, MoodyCounty, South Dakota. They moved to Eau Claire, Eau Claire County,Wisconsin, where Lulu Amanda was born on the 12the of August, 1877. In 1878 they moved to Dakota Territory near Egan, where Charle's parentshad filed on land by 'Squatters Right.' Charles also filed on land and asod house was erected on the rolling prairie. Belle twisted tall prairiegrass to use for fuel along with cow chips. Charles freighted fromFlandreau, Moody County and Egan, Moody County. Here, two children wereborn, Lana, 09, July, 1879 and Victor Mahon, 01, June, 1881. Their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Louis M. Hulett and family decided to gowest with California as their destination .... However, the country westof the Black Hills proved very favorable after a three hundred and fiftymile journey. With winter soon to be upon them, they decided to settleon what was later named Hulett Creek, northwest of the Litter MissouriButtes in northwest Wyoming Territory. They enlarged a trappers dugoutin which they spent the winter. The next spring they moved to Black TailCreek, 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 Charles Dunlap, started forWyoming in a covered wagon containing a large wall tent, cook stove, andother belongings, pulled by a span of large mules. Twice theyencountered Indians with whom they shared their food and were left totravel on. They arrived at the Huletts on the 9th of June, 1883. Alongthe way they had met the Dae Derrickson 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, Crook County, Wyoming. The five large logs foreach side were rolled up with the mules, smaller logs were split for theroof, the 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 the DakotaTerritory never to head west again, taking the wagon, mules and tent.This left Mrs. French and the three children with only an old white horsebought from 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. He had been appointed to see about schoolinterests in what later became Crook County. The interview provedsatisfactory and they allowed five dollars for a schoolhouse and fiftydollars for a period of six months for a teacher. Mrs. French consentedto teach, however, she was required to take an examination before thenearest County Superintendent of Schools in Deadwood Dakota Territory.The journey was made on horseback. The papers were forwarded to theSuperintendent of Schools in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Lulu Belle (Dewing)French became 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 Mattie, Tom and Morgan 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.

Pop-up Pedigree
Burial*: Lot 99, Alva, Crook County, Wyoming, U.S.A.
Note*: Lana (French) Colvin, the daughter of Lulu Belle (Dewing) and Charles W.French, was born 8 July, 1879 at Egan, Moody County, Dakota Territory.She had an older sister, Lulu, and a younger brother, Victor. The familylived on the prairie near Egan for about four years. During this timethe mother and children were alone much of the time. About the onlyvisitors were Indians who would stop by expecting a meal even thoughthere was little to eat. However, before long they would be back withfresh game for their hostess. Prairie fires were a terror for settlers. One time a fire headed for thehouse where the Frenches lived. The mother took the children and wrappedthem all in wet blankets and laid down directly in front of the flames.The fire quickly went over them without doing any harm to them. In 1883 the French family moved to Wyoming Territory by covered wagon andmule team. They settled near their former neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. L.M.Hulett, who had come to Wyoming in 1880 from Egan, Dakota Territory. Incidents of the journey as remembered by a little girl - The family hadcamped near a creek one evening with water only in the holes and Lana andLulu went to wash their hands and faces in a nearby hole. Lana started toslip into the water, she grabbed onto Lulu and both girls fell into thewater. Lana managed to get out and ran to the wagon all wet. Fortunately Lulu wasrescued and all ended well. Another incident happened when the wagon tipped over going up a steepbank after crossing the belle Fourche River. A pail fell over Lana’s headand she was almost smothered before it was removed. Living in a tent, then a log house was different then living in a sodhouse in Dakota. Dirt didn't’t keep falling into everything. Other settlers soon began to arrive with large herds of cattle and, ofcourse, cowboys. Entertainment consisted primarily of the Saturday nightsquare dances. Many rode twenty to thirty miles on horseback and stayedall night. There were very few young ladies and many cowboys so theladies did not lack escorts. The gentlemen furnished the saddle horses. The ladies wore longdivided riding skirts and rode sidesaddle. Some of the settlers who were arriving were J.C. Ryan, Leander Ripley,Moore, Storms, Cunningham, and George and Ed Barnard. Ed later was shotby a 'D' ranch cowboy. On 9 April, 1899, Lana and Ben P. Colvin were married at his homestead inRed Canyon by the Reverend J.S.F. Wood. Those attending the wedding wereher mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Ruland, and their son Dillon,Victor French, Ernest and Walt Willson, Mrs. Ella Pollock and Mrs. Sanderson of Deadwood, South Dakota. Lana Colvin became a charter member of the Beaver Creek Homemakers Clubin July 1935 with eighteen members. Lana was always willing to lend herservices to either relatives or neighbors in case of sickness or wheneverhelp in any way was needed. She spent her life helping others. At the present time, 1978, Lana is living in the Dorsett Home inSpearfish, South Dakota. She will celebrate her ninety-ninth birthdaythis summer (1981). More on the life of Ben and Lana Colvin can be found in the history ofBen Pollock Colvin. Ben and Lana were parents of two daughters, Marjorie Ann, born 24December, 1903, and Mildred, born 24 October, 1905.

He wasthird born and joined two sisters, Lulu Amanda and Lana. In early 1883,the family loaded their covered wagon, and headed west, for the BlackHills. Some very dear friends of theirs, the Hulett family, from Egan,had already decided to settle in the Black Hills, along the Belle Fourcheriver, and had written the French family to see if they would not jointhem. The covered wagon was pulled by two mules, named Bueguard andBonaparte. It took the family six weeks to make the journey. In July,1883, the French family set up their tent in the Hulett’s yard, and livedin it until their log cabin was built, nestled in the trees at the edgeof what now is Hulett. Mr. French set out in search of new frontiers,and the last that was heard of him, he was a guide in NorthernMinnesota. The family never knew what happened to him. Mrs. French rodehorseback to Deadwood, South Dakota, to take an examination, so that shecould teach school, and she became the first teacher in Crook County, in1884.

He was foreman on the construction ofthe Forest Service road into the Bear Lodge from the Gordon ranch, andhorse-drawn equipment was used to build the road. For many years, Mrs.French had the telephone exchange in their home and many people wereserved by this, as it was the only telephone in the area, and messageswere delivered this way.

After being in thehospital for six weeks, (which her daughter, Evelyn Louise (Nilson) Coywasn't told about until her son, Karl and his wife, Frances (Manly) Coyfinally told her) she seemed to be recovering fine. Then around the20th of March, she said she had no appetite and didn't get up to walkaround. Her will seemed to be deteriorating and refused to eat anythingeven though the nurses and granddaughter-in-law, grandson, Fran and KarlCoy, and eventually her daughter, Evelyn Coy and Laura Coy, would try toget Nana to eat something. She would eat a little, then refused. On Friday morning, April 2, 1999, Nana seemed to lose the will to live.Karl and Fran were in Nana's room when the doctor was told by Nana thatshe didn't want any more drips and wanted to die. Nana died April 2, 1999 11:48 PM. of Pulmonary Embolus, a potentiallydeadly blood cloy that lodges in a lung artery, which can be prevented insome trauma patients by implanting a tiny filter that serves as acatcher's mitt to snag a clot before it becomes life-threatening,researchers reported at the Society of Cardiovascular and InterventionalRadiology's recent meeting. . Your Dash I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning...to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth and spoke the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. (1897-1999) For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth... and now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; the cars...the house...the cash, what matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard... are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left, that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile.. remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy's being read with your life's actions to rehash... would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash? ~Author unknown~
