THREE BORN IN
3 STATES YET IN
JUST ONE HOME
Story From Wyoming In Paradox
That Belongs To Early Annual
Of Western State.
Brunt Fork, Wyo.—The puzzling
truth of three children Born In three
different states but in the same
house that never was moved is a
romantic paradox that belongs to
the early annals of Wyoming at old
Fort Bridger.
In that 12 by 18 foot log cabin
were born the three children in
volved—George Stoll, April 20,
1867; William Stoll, April 13, 1869;
and Lizzie toll Kirkendall, June
8, 1871.
George was bom in Utah; Wil
liam in Dakota and Lizzie in Wy
oming.
The ground at Fort Bridger was
originally Mexican soil. After it
was ceded to the United States in
the Mexican war settlement, it be
came Utah territory for a time
Then in the adjustment of bound
aries, the land lying east of the
Wasatch range was surveyed into
Dakota territory, and remained so
until the territory of Wyoming was
staked out about 1870.
Scantly remnants of projecting
logs, long anchored within the
ground, are the only remaining evi
dence of the abandoned home at the
former village of Merle, once an out
skirt hamlet a mile west of Fort
Bridger.
The house was originally built, it
is supposed, and occupied by Jim
Bridger within the limits of the
old post. During a dispute as to
the clouded title affecting the prop
erty during the early fifties, govern
ment employees moved several dis
puted houses outside the stockade
limits, including the historic one in
question.
The story of the house was relat
ed by one of the children, William
Stoll, for 52 years a resident cf
Burnt Fork. Stoll lived his first
eight years in the house and since
then has lived in this region known
as Burnt Fork. Stoll said he has
lived in a log house his entire life,
without electric lights or other mod
ern appurtenances.
