Sisters Leona and Jeanette Heptner are two extraordinary ordinary people who both taught grade school in Wyoming. This book is their history and includes the history of their families. Their legacy is the mark they left on the hundreds of youngsters over the years whom they taught, and it continues to this day with the Leona S. and Jeanette L. Heptner Scholarship Fund, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming; the Jeanette L. Heptner Scholarship, Northern Wyoming Community College Scholarship Fund, Sheridan, Wyoming; and the Heptner Education Academy, Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch in Billings, Montana. More than 400 photographs are included in the volume. Family historians will appreciate the comprehensive 21-page Name Index, especially for the Big Horn, Campbell, Crook, and Weston Counties in Wyoming; Mills County, Iowa; and Tulare County, California.
