Mallon Family.

The Mallon family of Walden, Colorado, had sheep ranching interests in Jackson and Grand Counties, Colorado, and Carbon County, Wyoming. Bernard Mallon owned land in Jackson County which he deeded to his children in 1912. His son John Elmer Mallon entered into partnership with L.E. Vivion of Rawlins, Wyoming, in 1924.

Elmer Mallon's estate passed to his wife Maude upon his death in 1946. In 1950, Maude McQueary Mallon deeded half of her portion of the Mallon and Vivion partnership to their son, John E. Mallon, who was running the day-to-day sheep ranching operations. John was variously treasurer, secretary, and president of the North Park (Colorado) Wool Growers Association in the 1950s-1960s. He was married to Jonita Mallon.

L.E. Vivion died in 1942, and his share of the partnership passed to his sons Charles E. Vivion and L.E. Vivion, Jr. Charles was actively involved in the partnership operations in the 1940s.

George J. Bailey was Elmer Mallon's attorney in Walden; George A. Bible handled the Mallon accounts at the First National Bank of Rawlins.
