THERMOPOLIS — Samuel Wesley Hyatt, 87, of Thermopolis, and former longtime Hyattville rancher, died on Sunday Oct. 7, 2007 at Thermopolis Healthcare at the age of 87.

Wesley was born on July 4, 1920 at Hyattville to Samuel Calhoun and Rouene Lauretta (Gapen) Hyatt. He was raised on the family ranch near Hyattville and attended schools at Hyattville and Manderson. He played basketball and was first chair violin at Manderson High School where he graduated. He then attended Iowa State University at Ames where he majored in pre-Vet science. He returned to the Hyatt Ranch in 1941 to help during the war, and became a life-long rancher.

Chapline Land Stewardship Award for, "Exceptional accomplishments and contributions to the art and science of range management through rangeland stewardship."

He and his wife moved to the Wyoming Pioneer Home in Thermopolis following their retirement and the sale of the Hyatt Ranch.

Wes also was a member of the Hyattville Methodist Church, Worland Elks Lodge #1908, and was a former school board member at Hyattville.

He enjoyed hunting big game and birds, fishing, dancing, and loved to make wine from the dandelions in his fields and the apples from the family orchard.
