Historical NoteReturn to Top
Adelaide Hook (b. 1875) was married to Francis Edward Gilmore (1868-1949) in Red Bluff, California, in 1897. Frank Gilmore had worked the previous five years as a sheepherder in Wyoming and had driven 1,000 head of sheep from Weiser, Idaho, to what is now Park County, Wyoming. Frank Gilmore started a sheep ranch south of the Shoshone River near Dry Creek. During the summer of 1900 the Gilmores took a camping vacation through Yellowstone National Park. In 1902 they bought in home in Cody, Wyoming, where they lived until returning to Red Bluff, California, in 1905.
