Uinta County: Its Place in History

Further History of Evanston, Wyoming

In 1890 a jurist by the name of Cyrus Beard came with his family to Evanston. Though a native of the state of Pennsylvania, most of his life had been spent in the Middle West. In the University of Iowa, from which he received his degree, he formed a friendship with Clarence D. Clark that resulted in a partnership in the practice of law. Mrs. Beard died in 1893, leaving four children. In 1897 the family moved to Colorado Springs, and in the same year Miss Frances Birkhead became his wife. In 1900 they returned to Evanston, and the firm of Beard & Spaulding was formed and continued until 1904, when Uinta County was honored the third time in having a member of its bar made the choice of the people for the supreme bench of the state. judge Beard was a scholarly and faithful worker and his death in 1920 brought sorrow to the entire state, in which he had friends in all ranks of life. Three of the children are living ; Mary, wife of W. C. Pefley of Idaho ; Arthur, who is a civil engineer in California, and Claire, wife of George Daiber of Cheyenne.
