1929 A Laramie group advocated prohibition of women's figures on cigarette advertisements. Cigarettes themselves did not become common for the most part until after World War One, which popularized them as they were distributed free to soldiers. Prior to that, smokers tended to smoke cigars and pipes. Smoking by women was uncommon, and considered improper. In the 1920s, cigarette smoking by women expanded due to the social atmosphere of the time, although it was still considered sensational.
1950
The remains of Big Nose George Parrot were found by workmen working on
the Rawlins National Bank. Parrot's remains had been given to Dr. John
Osborne, who was later elected Governor, for study. Osborne stored the
body in a salted whiskey barrel, and eventually buried the whiskey
barrel in they yard behind his office. The entire story of the
treatment of Parrot's body following his execution is shocking my modern
standards, including the means of finally laying them to rest until
this date in 1950.
