with her husband, Commodore NAPLES,
now dead, on the first passenger train
that ever ran into the city. This was

little, a former mayor of Sioux Falls,
and now a veteran engineer on the
Omaha railroad between Sioux Falls
and Worthington, Mimi, was the man
in the cab in that memorable trip over
the Omaha road, which was the first
to construct a line to Sioux Falls. In
all the thirty-three years Mrs. NAPLES
had not been out Of the state, although
during that period she lived only a
few miles from the Iowa and Minneso-
ia line, and but nee before had she
been on a railroad train since 1873
seven years ago, when she took a trip
TO Salem and Mitchell. Mrs. NAPLES,
who is now making her third railroad
journey, is 10 years of age. For some
years she served as school treasurer
OF the Sioux Falls district.
