Thomas C. Stanford

Of the ten children, Thomas C. was the fifth and was four years old when the family moved to Salt Lake City, where he grew up and received a basic education.

[2] In 1895 he bought additional land and engaged in sheep raising as well a continuing his interests in cattle and horses.

Over the years he replaced the family's original log home with "a beautiful and commodious residence" and similarly upgraded the ranching structures.

Their intent was to deal cooperatively with wool buyers to regularize pricing and avoid wide swings in the supply-demand situation.

[1] Mr. Stanford assisted in developing irrigation projects in Blaine County and surrounding parts of Idaho.

In fact, his name seems to have been associated both as a worker and liberal contributor to all the community development projects in the Little Wood River valley for many years.
