OTHER TIDBITS: Well that marker didn’t say much! Mahlon Kemmerer was the town’s namesake, but he didn’t directly found it. In fact, he spent most of his time in Pennsylvania, where he was the President of the very successful Kemmerer Coal Company! It was his vice president, Patrick Quealy, who founded this town near coal deposits discovered by John C. Frémont!

The monument is on the southwest corner of the City Park, at the intersection of Pine Avenue and Main Street! That’s in Kemmerer, Wyoming 83101!
