 * State Treasurers **

The office of Treasurer of the Territory was created by the Territorial Legislative Assembly of 1869. The Territorial Treasurer was appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Council for a term of two years. He was required to give bond of ten thousand dollars. His duties included receiving and keeping all moneys of the Territory, disbursing the public moneys upon warrants, etc. The Territorial Treasurer received a salary of eight hundred dollars for two years, and two per cent of all moneys paid into the Territorial Treasury. At the time Wyoming became a State he was receiving two thousand eight hundred dollars for salary and commissions for two years.
