Lander – Services for Wyoming pioneer Sherman T. Gustin, 81, will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the United Methodist Church. The Rev. David Donkle will officiate.
Gustin died Thursday at his home following a lengthy illness.
He was born Oct. 4, 1898 at the old gold mining town of Lewiston, Wyo. near South pass to pioneer parents Edward and Phoebe (Abra) Gustin.
On April 2, 1922, he married the former Ella (Babe) Tracy at Lander. Gustin had lived all his life in Fremont County. He ranched for many years on deeded homestead land on the Wind River Indian Reservation, retiring from ranched in 1965. Since that time he has been a part owner of the Hiway Liquor Store just outside of Lander city limits.
He served 12 years on the Mill Creek School Board and worked for consolidation of county and reservation schools. He and his children started the first 4-H Club in Fremont County and he was instrumental in organizing the Mill Creek Grange and Farm Union. Gustin was appointed by President John F. Kennedy to the Soil Conservation Service and continued to serve in that capacity under President Lyndon Johnson. He had made many trips to Washington while serving soil conservation.
He was a member of the Cattlemen’s Assn. and the Lander Elks Club.
Besides his wife of Lander, he is survived by four daughters, Shirley Fraser, Reno, Nev.; Mrs. Ada McDonell, Ft. Washakie; Rosalyn Hedges and Petty Gustin, both of Lander; one son Orville (Bud) Gustin, Cody; two brothers, Vernon and Max Gustin, both of Lander, eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
