PRIQUET
JOHN BAPTISTE (1846-1925)
ADELINE MELISSA (SCHENCK) (1852-1931)

John Baptiste Priquet was born April 19 1846 in Paris France. When he was seven years old
he made the trip from Europe to the United States in a sailboat. By the time he was 21 John had immigrated to Idaho Springs Colorado. Adeline Melissa Schenck was born April 12 1852 in
Belvedere Illinois. In 1861 Adeline came with her family to Idaho Springs in a prairie schooner.
Adeline and John Priquet were married in Idaho Springs on April 4 1867. Eleven children were born to the couple there. John had a homestead and ran a sawmill.

By July of 1900 he moved the family to Saratoga. John and his sons cut cord wood at the Ferris Haggarty Mine. Around 1901 Joseph Riley born August 13 1869 had an argument with his father.
He left the valley supposedly to go to Montana and then to Oregon. None of the family heard from him again.

William Priquet drove the stagecoach to Saratoga and Encampment. On April 19 1907 Willie
had stopped the coach to water the horses at Cow Creek near the Trowbridge Ranch. All but one passenger had alighted to stretch their legs. Willie was just watering the lead horses when they were startled by a clap of thunder. The lead horse reared striking Willie on the shoulder and the horses bolted. He made a desperate grab for the lines but missed and went down. All the horses and the stage ran over Willie leaving him fatally wounded. The lady passenger buttoned her coat and jumped from the coach receiving only minor bruises. Willie was only 29 years old.

Carrie Felice Priquet was born September 24 1886. Carrie whose nickname was Tadpole was
crippled but managed to walk by herself. She married Jim Mauk in Saratoga. Jimmy was a trapper and hauled coal. Carrie was the telephone operator.
Adeline's health failed rapidly after John's death March 13 1925. She had been an invalid for
close to three years when she died in 1931. Five of her children were alive at that time Sarah Leona Etta Carrie and Oscar.

Oscar Melvin was born August 14 1882. He married Violet Peters in 1911 in Saratoga. They
had two children John Melvin born October 31 1913 and Adeline Orella. Oscar did some mining and some ranch work. Violet had a laundry across the River Street Bridge where States later had his honey business. About 1921 he started carrying the mail on the Brush Creek route and later from Walcott.

Violet and Oscar divorced and she took John Melvin who has always been known as Melvin
and Adeline back to Wichita Kansas. Melvin sold popcorn in the park when he was about 12. His
mother insisted he play the violin but Melvin didn't like the lessons. One day he put his violin on a sign post and went into a movie. When we came out the violin was gone and the lessons ended.
In Wichita Melvin learned apprentice printing in school. He returned to Saratoga in July of
1929 for a family reunion picnic. Melvin finished school in Encampment. Grace Kuntzman Healey was the principal and the coach. The gym was in what is the Centennial Bicycle Hostel.
Melvin went to barber school got his certificate and returned to Encampment where he practiced in the barber shop beside the telephone office. Both buildings burned in a fire about 1949.
During the 1930s Melvin worked for the Civilian Conservation Corp building the camp at Chimney Park.
Oscar continued to have the mail route and drive the school bus. During the 1930s he started the Platte Valley Express. For the next 40 years the truck line was to supply the Platte Valley with all types of freight from prescriptions to machinery. For some years Oscar and Melvin picked up the milk in cans from ranches around the valley and took it to the creamery in Rawlins. Later a tank truck was used to haul the milk from vats on each ranch.
For a few years Oscar and Melvin ran the Encampment Garage. The light plant for the town
was housed there. It caught fire in about 1942 and burned the building and the new school bus which was stored there.
Richard Graham was born in Watertown New York in 1836. He was discharged from the
Army after the siege of the Spanish Fort in 1865. His daughter Francis Graham Thompson was the mother of Cora Thompson Holmberg. Cora was born March 20 1895 in Bradford Kansas. She married John Holmberg. Holmberg was born September 25 1879 in Okelbo Sweden. Cora and John had five girls born to them Martha Ester Julia Elsie Edith and Annabelle. John worked at a mine in Rambler and had a recorded mine above Laramie with water rights on the Laramie River.
Cora would never let the children speak Swedish because they were American but the children have many memories of John's Swedish songs and stories. Cora and John separated when Julia Elsie who was born October 13 1918 in Laramie was about nine. They lived with Cora's mother in Clifton Kansas. The girls worked in the com and beet fields and Cora worked in Clay Center Kansas.
Julia Elsie Holmberg married and had two children Bruce Osborne born October 5 1937 and
Gary Osborne born Aprill 0 1939. Cora returned toWyoming and opened acafe in Saratoga beside Whitney's Saddle Shop. It was there she met Oscar Priquet. They were married November 11 1938 in the new Palace Cafe in Rawlins. Coming back to Wyoming Julia met and then married her stepbrother John Melvin Priquet January 15 1941 in Laramie. They had three children: Harvey Melvin Phyllis Elaine and Terry Lee. Harvey was born in Encampment May 24 1941 Phyllis Elaine was born December 5 1947 in Saratoga. Harvey died in March of 1943 and Phyllis died of an accidental gunshot wound March 5 1957. Terry Lee was born September 6 1944 at the home of Abby Bensen. His parents moved to their present home on Lomax Avenue in 1942.
During the last years of his life Oscar continued to run the Cedar-Brush Creek mail route
leaving Melvin to run the truckline. Cora died in 1952 and Oscar died in Saratoga on July 17 1961.
In 1970 Melvin sold the truckline. He worked at the Hines Sawmill in Saratoga and then at Arch Mineral coal mine in Hanna until he retired.
Terry graduated from school in Encampment in 1962 and enlisted in the army in 1963. He
married Mary Drake at the Presbyterian Church in Encampment May 6 1967. Their daughter Trina Ann was born September 18 1968 in Rawlins. Two weeks before their second child was born they returned to live in Encampment after several years of living in Rawlins and Medicine Bow. John Saratoga and Encampment Wyoming 383
William was born July 13 1971 in Rawlins. For several years Terry worked at Hines mill in Saratoga and then at Arch Mineral Mines in Hanna where he was a licensed shooter. Almost 50 years after his grandfather and father ran the Encampment Garage Terry and Mary bought the business and renamed it T &M Service in 1986. Trina graduated from Encampment High School went to University of Wyoming in 1987. On March 19 1988 she married Justin Currier. John is a senior at Encampment High School and helps with the family business.
