- Peter Baldwin Dykeman, last surviving of eight children of the late James B. and Ruth Ann (Mabie) Dykeman, died at his home in Riverton, Wyoming, on April 19, 1951, at the age of 82.
Mr. Dykeman will be remembered by some of the older residents of this village as a brother of the late Mrs. Charles E. Nichols and Mrs. Charles B. Travis of Carmel and of the late Willard J. Dykeman of Tilly Foster and Asheville.
He was born on a farm near Carmel July 20, 1868, attended the local schools of the community and for several years was employed in a store in Carmel. In early young manhood he went West and became associated with the Anaconda Copper Mining Company at Butte, Montana, later rising to the position of Chief Clerk in their main office in Chicago.
Leaving the Anaconda company around 1905 and after a year or so of extensive travel in this country, Canada and Mexico, he settled in Central Wyoming taking up a 160 acre homestead there near what is now the thriving town of Riverton. For some years thereafter his 160 acre alfalfa farm was one of the show places of that locality.
Giving up active farming some 15 years later, he became active in banking, hotel, power and coal and oil interests. He built and operated the local electric power plant at Riverton for a number of years and was active in real estate at the time of his death.
Mr. Dykeman was a man of sterling character, always ready to give a helping hand to those in need. He gave his efforts unstintingly over many, years to the development of his town and community.
In 1896 Mr. Dykeman was united in marriage with Miss Mollie Edith Alley of Afton, Iowa, and to this union one child was, born, Ruth, now Mrs. Arthur Ward of Riverton. Mr. Dykeman is also survived by one grandson, Philip Ward, a graduate of the University of Wyoming and now a student of the Chicago Art institute.
