(Excerpt from a story written and published in the Sheridan County Heritage Book published in 1983 with permission from the Sheridan County Extension Homemakers Council.)
Doris Elaine Kooi was born in Chicago, Illinois, one of the three daughter of Mary Helen Brown and Peter Kooi. She was a small child when they moved to Wyoming.
Miss Doris, as she was known then, spent several years of her young life in the lively and colorful atmosphere of the Kooi Coal Camp. “Life there was wonderful.” Miss Doris was such a lively youngster who loved to help her father. She was known as the Camp Tomboy and was regarded as his “right-hand man.” She helped him shingle a roof on occasion, and knew how to run the motor that pulled loaded pit cars up from deep inside the mine. She often went along with the other camp kids fishing in the creek, chasing rabbits or playing their version of baseball.
Doris married James Crew Reynolds on October 30, 1923. They had one daughter, Crewe Kooi.
Doris is a woman of many accomplishments. Her interests were limitless. She was listed in Who’s Who in the West, Who’s Who in Commerce and Industry and Who’s Who in Politics. She was active in the Republican Party, holding offices and serving on committees on the local, state and national level. She was also active in holding and serving on committees for numerous organizations.
