He and his brother, Clement, ran away from home and worked their way up the Missouri River on keel boats, where he landed among the Sioux there and each took a wife.
Married to Woman Dress, sister of Ogallala War Chief Gall, at Fort Laramie in what was then Idaho Territory. Daughter, Lizzie was born Dec. 25, 1865.
In 1868 the Lamoreaux family, with young Lizzie and expecting another addition shortly, joined a wagon train heading for the new gold strike at South Pass.Along the way the train was attacked by a Sioux war party, but Woman Dress saved the day with her Indian Blood.As Jules Farlow told it, "The war party surrounded the wagons and everyone thought it was all over until grandmother jumped out of a covered wagon and waved an Indian blanket at the marauding Sioux, who melted away as suddenly as they had appeared."
Became second mayor of Lander, WY.Prominent figure there.
