Where did the name for Gardner Mountain come
from?
Tom Gardner came to Wyoming with a cattle drive in
1883. In 1893 he married May V. Sage and took up a homestead. In 1894 he bought
land from O.H. Flagg on the Red Fork of the Powder River. He was a prominent
citizen of Barnum and Kaycee, helping to organize the Powder River State Bank in
Kaycee, a hardware store in Kaycee, and serving as a Johnson County commissioner
for four years. Sadly, he was killed on the road between Buffalo and Sheridan in
1914. Gardner Mountain was named in his memory.
