She served long and well as a minister's wife and bore six children. She went with her husband to the Pacific Coast for 15 years, where he founded the Methodist Church in Oregon. In 1872 they were called back to Texas. Her husband died many years ago. All but one of her children are dead, but she has five grandchildren and as many great grandchildren...

Though still relatively a young man, the world in which he spent his money with such debonair magnificence and through which he raced in his roaring automobiles has largely vanished; even the scenes of his gayeties are being removed. Delmonico's, where he gave numerous dinners, recently closed its doors; Madison Square Garden, at whose ringside his plump beetling face often brooded, has been pulled down...
