Henry (Hank) W. Devoe and May Orr Devoe came to Wyoming in 1878 with freight to Fort McKinney. In 1881 they moved to the Bar C Ranch. Henry worked as foreman at the ranch and got the mail contract from the Bar C to the Powder River crossing. May worked as the postmistress. During those early years, large groups of Indians would camp near their house in the winter, and May was asked to attend to a sick Indian woman, who later recovered. Other Devoes later came to the area, and some of their descendants still ranch in the Kaycee area.
