Hysham Echo Newspaper

The Hysham Echo Newspaper has been published since Nov. 28, 1911 for Treasure County, Montana.

The Echo has undergone many changes over the years and I was honored to be the editor at the time it turned 100.

Each week I will publish the recipes and Page from the Past and the obits as soon as I receive them.

"Wild Bill" Mereness

 “Wild Bill” Mereness left us to go on his last roundup on April 5, 2011 at Big Horn County Hospital with family members at his side. Wild Bill was loved by all and never had an enemy.

He was born on March 28, 1933 in Buffalo, WY; he was one of five siblings. He worked on various farms and ranches. He and his wife Vyrla of 51 years raised their four children in the Hysham area.
Bill leaves behind his wife Vyrla; his sons Don (Kristi) and Glenn (Carrie) Mereness; his daughters Vicki (Clayton) Brown and Karan Nansel; eight grandkids; three great grandkids; his brothers Bob (Pat) and Charles (Kathy) Mereness; his sisters Mary Zingg and Louise Johnson and all of his many friends and relatives.

Cremation has taken place in the Bullis Eastern Montana Crematory. Private family burial will take place at a later date. Bullis Mortuary has been entrusted with the arrangements. Print this post
