I first met Mrs. Wright, the other member of this famous duo of pioneers in 1890. In that year I had finished the one-room school at Lordsburg, and with my sister was sent to school in Silver City, where I had been told the school superintendent was M. R. Koehler. I had expected to find a man in charge, but it was a woman who took me in hand — a most attractive woman — tall, blue eyes, brown hair, of magnetic personality, with an en- veloping interest in others.
