Roland and Mignon Earhart Livestock Judging Scholarship

Mignon (Minnie) Murphy moved to the Powell area in 1916 where her family homesteaded on the Shoshone Irrigation Project. Roland Earhart’s family arrived in 1929 and homesteaded on the Willwood Division. He was able to file on a relinquished Willwood homestead of his own in 1933, and the young married couple made a life together on the farm and raised four sons – Darrell, Neil, Larry, and Dennis.
At Northwest College, and later UW, Larry Earhart studied animal husbandry and gained the knowledge to add a registered cattle operation to the family agriculture business. Two of Larry’s brothers and his daughter, Andrea, also attended Northwest College. After Roland and Minnie’s deaths, the family set up a scholarship endowment in their memory supporting livestock judging students.
