                <text>The Sheffner-McFadden Collection consists of family photographs and albums, postcards, and photographs of early-day Casper, Wyoming, that had been collected by Genevieve Sheffner Shultz. Other materials include a notebook belonging to Frances C. Butler (Sheffner), an East Side High School Class of 1918 Yearbook, and a letter to Jean C. Mcfadden from prolific Wyoming writer Peggy Simson Curry.&#13;
&#13;
Jean C. McFadden (1923-2015) was the granddaughter of turn-of-the-century Natrona County Sheriff Jesse A. Sheffner. Her mother, Genevieve Sheffner Shultz, had kept many photographs and keepsakes from her childhood and life in Casper, Wyoming. Jesse A. Sheffner (1869-1932) came to Wyoming in 1890 from Nebraska where he first worked at the N.S Bristol grocery store and then as a clerk for the Webb Mercantile Co. He served as Marshal in Casper from 1904 to 1907, Sheriff from 1907 to 1915, also serving at different points as mayor, chief of police, and undersheriff until 1928. His family lived for a time during his term as Sheriff in the Natrona County courthouse. His wife, Frances C. (Butler) Sheffner (1870-1927), served as one of Casper’s first school teachers. She was a member of the Butler family, one of Casper’s first families with additional familial ties to the Demorest family of Casper. They were married in 1895 and had three children, Jesse (1904-1905), Camden, and Genevieve.</text>

              <text>Photograph of parked cars buried in snow in front of the Rialto Theatre and R. N. Ogden Law Offices in Casper, Wyoming. In January 1949, one of the worst recorded blizzards in southeastern Wyoming buried many areas in and between Casper, Douglas, Laramie, and Cheyenne in 10-12 feet of snow. Large numbers of wild and stock animals were lost and hundreds of people were stranded in their homes, businesses, and cars. Several people died or were injured from exposure or accidents in the below freezing temperatures. The Sheffner-McFadden Collection consists of family photographs and albums, postcards, and photographs of early-day Casper, Wyoming, that had been collected by Genevieve Sheffner Shultz. &#13;
