Wealthy Texan ranch owner rose from poor schoolteacher
Eight years ago Miss Palmer, a poor Ohio village teacher, became the companion of Mrs. Payne of Ohio. In Texas she joined cattleman Joe Ferguson at Broad Ax ranch. Startled by generosity, she received six months salary in cattle, built a herd of 700 cows, and after years of shrewd investments bought the Broad Ax ranch. Now she reportedly holds wealth around $1,000,000 with ranches in Texas and lands in old Mexico.
