Mrs. Surah K. Pulley, who Is now past
Stl years of age, still resides In Pomona,
('ul.. and Is hearty und well. Jt has
been some lime since her many friends
in this vicinity have heard from her.
A short time ago. Mrs. Roby R. Rulund,
of Dnlton, n niece of Mrs.' linlley, re
ceived u letter from her, and, believing
many others would be interested in Its
contents, slie herewith gives It for pub
lication In The Tribune:
My Dear Niece Roby: Your letter of
Aug. i", was a very pleasant surprise to
nit. 1 have not heard from any of my
husband's relatives for years. The last
letter I received was from Klizaboth,
Brother Webb's widow, r answered it
at once, I hart not heard of her dcatli
and was thinking of writing to her
when you letter came. 1 was iu Chi
cago in 1S9II and saw Sterling Bailey's
wife for a few minutes. 1 am very sor
ry not to keep some acquaintance with
those that are left of my early friends.
Miiere are but few left. I have one
brother and one sister left of nil my
large family. I visited my sister. Jean
uie Stoekdale, of Springtlcld, 111., when
I was at the World's fair iu 189;:. My
brother spent one winter with us four
years sigo. My four sons are all away,
far away from me. Gilbert has head
quarters in San Francisco, but is out
most of the time superintending mines.
He will be here next week on his way
to visit mines In several places, among
them the niter beds in Dentil Valley,
where one company he works for bus
thirty thousand acres of niter lands,
the only ones known of In the United
States. He has been successful in
making- other people wealthy by their
mines, unit though not wealthy himself,
he always hos enough to be very good
to me, giving me any pleasant trip or
anything I want. His wife died years
ago, and his only child is a very prom
ising; lawyer in Cincinnati, Ohio. Wuy
hintl, my second son, has been in the
weather bureau for years. He is now
at Portland, Ore., and likes it there
verv much. He has a lovely wife and
throe very nice children. The oldest
sou, Gilbert S. Bailey, Is a very bright
boy: he will be 7 years old next month.
Beth, the only daughter, is 5, and baby,
Stanley, is 3. r have eight grandchil
dren and two great grand-daughters.
Cha-lie is a pliysician in Axtelan, old
Mexico, and is doing well. Willie has
been married sixteen years, and has si
good -wife but no children, which they
greatly regret, as both are very fond
of children. M'hey have lived In San
Francisco for years and both are prac
ticing physicians. 1 have had several
nice visits with them there of two or
three months' duration, and um always
welcomed and treated like a princess.
1 enjoy m visits to Hie city very much.
It Is quite n Journey, over five hundred
miles, but 1 am always glad to get
buck to ray own home here, -where 1
have lived with my daughter. Kulalhi
A. Brink, since her father died, ten
years ago. Men long, situ years! Anil
yet I have had so many comforts and
blessings, that T ought not to mourn.
Then the blessed memories of Ills beau
tiful life! And the good ho did! It is
very sweet to me Hint his memory is
still so beautifully cherished by so
many people. His life here, though iu
such feeble healih, was like a constant
benediction, and he was so happy here.
Though suffering great bodily discom
fort, his only thought seemed to be to
work for Christ. My only daiigliter's
husband died here in California twenty-two
years ago. and left her with
four little children. She has taught
school ever since and tlnely educated
thorn all. Her oldest son, Irwin, has
been married six years and lins one lit
