This motherly looking woman with her bright eyes and shining black hair thinks her estate a very small one and is very mod est about her work of raising fine cattle for the market.

Undaunted by her husband's death, she has managed the ranch herself, assisted by her three daugh ters, May, Cora and Clara Lanni gan.
