his father was deeply engrossed in the
affairs of the Pullman Palace Car com

her time to her two daughters. The
young men were practically left to map

| Miss Fernald visited the Pullman
summer home at Elberton. N j., In
1898. On August 16 of that year
George Pullman and the young woman
went out for a drive in a tally-ho. A
coachman and a butler accompanied
them. They drove to Freehold, N. j.,
