Historical NoteReturn to Top
John C. Friend (1847-1922) was a businessman and journalist in Wyoming. He arrived in the area in 1863 as a member of Company G, 11th Ohio Cavalry. After leaving the army he worked as a telegrapher at Deer Creek and Horseshoe Stations. He settled in Rawlins, Wyoming, in 1870 and helped to found the "Carbon County News." He later acquired the "Carbon County Journal" and ran it from 1879-1892. Friend served in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Wyoming Territorial Legislatures and as city marshal of Rawlins. John C. Friend's daughter, Margaret, married Joseph H. Jacobucci, manager of the Rawlins Light & Fuel Company. The couple had two sons: Joseph F. and John Rhea.
Joseph F. Jacobucci was born in Rawlins, Wyoming in 1914 and attended the University of Wyoming from 1932-1933. Jacobucci edited the University's student newspaper, "The Branding Iron," in 1933 and also acted as interim editor of "The Laramie Republican-Boomerang" in 1934. In 1935 Jacobucci transferred to the University of Missouri and obtained his B.A. in journalism in 1936. He returned to Wyoming in 1936 to work as the editor of the "Green River Star" and started the "Laramie Sentinel" in 1938, which was in operation for six months. Jacobucci then focused on conducting research for a book on the history of journalism in Wyoming. Joseph Jacobucci died in 1939 of a ruptured appendix.
John Rhea Jacobucci (1916-1984) attended the University of Wyoming and went on to become a businessman and political figure in Rawlins, Wyoming.
