    My uncle, John Maxwell and his 2 sons, Gordon and JW, ran a market in Worland during the 1960's and 70's. It was called Jon's Iga Food Basket.

      @@barkerjames1980 ~ Both sides of my family were immigrants from Scotland who followed the coal mines. They ended up in Gebo, Wyoming (which was off the road between Thermoplois and Worland) in around 1910. The men were coal miners in Gebo, Kirby and I believe Crosby? and my mother taught school in the small school in Gebo. Some of us stayed in the Wyoming area and my immediate family came down to where I am now in California. The Maxwells also owned a cabin up in the Tensleep mountains that we used to stay at.
