Hot Springs County, Wyoming Biographies
J. W. Anthony
During the winter of 1868-1869, J. W. Anthony and his family came to Atlantic. He was a man who had had large experience in Wyoming as a freighter and contractor. He had been engaged with Russell, Majors and Waddell in 1858 and had been across Wyoming to Salt Lake many times. When General Connor had campaigned in this country Anthony was one of his freight contractors, hauling supplies wood, grain and hay. When the Union Pacific was built he furnished material for the construction of the road and had a camp at Granite Canon. He was a sturdy pioneer and was born at Geneva, New York, March 18, 1832. In October, 1861 he married Miss Sarah Davis at Plattsmouth, Nebraska. He was a good business man and on his arrival built a ten-stamp mill at Atlantic and did work for the Mary Ellen, the Buckeye and the Soules and Perkins mines. This mill was supplied with a complete assaying outfit, which was very much needed at the time. He, with a partner, put up the large stone building which has been occupied for many years by Robert McAuley. During the Indian troubles in the camp, Anthony was commissioned Colonel by Governor Campbell and was instructed to raise four companies of volunteers, which he did, but on receiving his instructions, not to kill any of the Indians, he refused to accept his commission. He built the first bathing house at the Hot Springs on the reservation, and furnished the lumber for the first Agency building. In 1871 he moved to Evanston, and later took up his residence in Denver.
