The pastor Of the First Methodist
Church in Oakland had $4,000 year.
Her own son-in-Iaw, who was a
preacher, and had wife and four
children and kept a hired girl, had
received during the past half year

with that required very close house,

There is great deal Of extrava-

poor women ape the dress of the

she had moved to California she was
