About the year 1869, young. prs-
possessing, modest, and determined
girl alighted from the coach in Den
yer one morning. She was, perhaps.
q years of age, and it was evident 70
those who met her on the occasion of
her advent in that then rather vocit-
erous town under the mountain
shadows, that she had gone west with
the intention OF growing up with the
country, as she evidenced remark
able degree OF independence, soft
ened, however, by strong womanly
qualities. which soon established her
high in the esteem Of all with whom
she came in contact. She at once
made her mission known by canva

infant, she, with sever brothers and
sisters, had been left without parents.
Relatives had brought the children
up in some Obscure town in Illinois,
and when arrived at mature years,
the girl had struck ont for herself in
Chicago, by securing position as
instructor in the Singer Office in that
city. Her duties were to follow uD
local agents and teach purchasers of
machines how to operate them. Fin

the Denver agency, and she applied

Among the foremo.t-if net the

in those days was Mr.. /. w. Tiff.
His herds were numbered by hun

Wyoming and Colorado were wide

Young sewing. machine agent on one
of his visits to Denver. Courtsbip
followed, and it was not long before
sewing machines were abandoned for
family caree. She became Mrs. Ilifi
and Cheyenne became her home for
q short time. Now the wife of a mill
lionaire. and removed from the cares
and vexatious of business life, and

Mrs, Tiff displayed in a supreme de-

which had, under former trials,
brought her so successfully through.
In 1876, when the United States Mar

sent to prison for Irregularities in

pslstial home and removed to Den

leaving his vast cattle interests to his
widow and his two sons. minors. In
stead Of laying aside these new cares
by disposing of her herds, Mrs. Tiff
at once assumed these fresh and
great responsibilities, and became
one Of the lea ding cattle dealers of

her determination to remain single
