Dr. Hockett was a lawyer from the East who came out to Wyoming
and was trapping in the mountains. After marrying Rosalie Seiloff,
he began to practice law again. Rosalie was a teacher and served
as County Superintendent of Schools for 17 years. She taught high
school Math and, although she looked stern, her students say she was a
kind, good teacher and they remember her fondly. They secretly called
her 'Buttercup.'
