I found this item in Somebody's Links and thought someone in Minidoka County might know the family.

o I have a 1961 yearbook, THE SPARTA, from Minidoka County
High School. Ads in the back of the book are for places in
Rupert, Idaho. The book belonged to a physical education teacher
Miss LuDean THURSTON and has signatures and messages from some
of her students. I'd like to give this book to a proper home.

Does anyone know who founded the town of Rupert in Minidoka
county? Was Bernard FARR among the first settlers there?

She first married Lafayette TURNER on 25 Dec 1879 in Algona. Layfette died in 1885 leaving Emma with 2 daughters: Miriam, born in 1880 and Honor, born in 1883. She reportedly married Robert REGISTER. Her death has been reported as 31 Mar 1931 in Paul, Minidoka County, ID. Honor married Irl CLAYVILLE 21 Dec 1904 in Boise, ADA County, ID and died at the age of 91 there. I have no other information on Robert or Miriam. Any help would be very much appreciated.
