granddaughter of Mabel Ella Tompkins and John Henry Wilson (graduates above), from the original parchment announcement as sent out in 1901.

Family history is available on Mabel Ella Tompkins and John Henry Wilson. My mailing address is Mary Thompson Saban, PO Box 522, Riverton, WY 82501. I will mail a xerox copy of the original to any descendant of any person listed in the announcement.

Additional notes on John H. Wilson - he received a Business Degree in 1902 and a Science Degree in 1903. As soon as I get the degrees copied and reduced in size, they will be available to any descendant upon request.
