Notes for George Henry Peterson: Of special interest, as an earnest and conscientious member of the Mormon church, he carried into practice their doctrine of plurality of wives and was the first man arrested in Wyoming under the law against "unlawful cohabitation". Abiding, like a dutiful citizen, by the action of the courts, he put away two of his three wives retaining the one pronounced his lawful wife, yet continuing to support the others.
