She became the great social lion of her day in Denver and imported her dresses from Paris, from the designer "Worth," the most famous dress designer of the time. Enclosed is a picture of Salena in one of those dresses.
She was an avid club woman, running for various jobs such as president of the school board.
She was also a suffragette fighting for the women's rights long before women had rights, getting the vote for women in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah long before 1920, when it became law of the land.
This little girl from Palo Pinto, Texas and Deer Trail, Colorado certainly was something special.
Respectfully submitted to the "Jailhouse Museum", Palo Pinto, Texas by J. Philip Thelin and Nancy Ernest Porter, Great Grandchildren of Salena Virginia Hittson Ernest and Great-Great Grandchildren of John Nathan Hittson and Great Great-Great-Grandchildren of Jesse Hittson.
