When Frenchy came to Tascosa there were only three other white women in all the Panhandle country west of Ft. Elliott, Mrs. Charles Goodnight, Miss Lizzie Rinehart and Mrs. Tom Bugby. At that time Tascosa was the only town in the western Panhandle. Elizabeth saw the town grow to 500 and then die until she was the only one left in 1931. She knew Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett. Billy the Kid lived in Tascosa for a year and a half.
