                <text>These photographs of Irene S. Bussey Bruns were sent to Kathy Orr--President of the Natrona County Historical Society in September of 1995--by Kathleen Brewester. Irene can be seen seated second from the right in the group who climbed up to sit on the roof of the asbestos mine cabin on Casper Mountain, noting that they were to keep out. Irene's husband, Arthur Bruns, a pioneer resident of Glenrock, snapped the photograph of Irene with the "Rev. himself" and "their boy." It is thought Arthur likely took all of these photographs. There is another photograph of their "Rev.'s" wife with their boy and Irene. The "Rev." can be seen bending over in the background with some houses in the distance. Another photograph has a letter written to Irene's nephew, Daniel. She writes, "My dear little Daniel: Oh yes, your Wyo. auntie has not forgotten you tho' she is a little late. Now be sure to see me ith your suitcase sometime. Bushels of love, Aunt Irene." The fifth photograph is of the three Sunday school teachers at Trinity Lutheran Church at Casper, Wyo. with the W.C. Rehnaldt as its pastor. This photograph was sent as a letter to Irene's sister Emma, who she sent "heaps of love" to. A faded "Made at the Picture Shop Casper, Wyo. stamp is on the back of this photograph. Irene was born in on August 22 of 1844 and died in Casper in 1942 according to the Family Group sheet. From newspaper searches, it was learned Arthur's second wife was Louise Marie Bruns. Arthur moved from Glenrock to Casper in 1914 and resided there "for many years," working in the merchantile business. These photographs may have been taken sometime in the 1930s before Arthur remarried. No reference to Irene Bruns has been found in newspaper searches at this time.</text>
