He told us once of how frightened he was, when, after his father's death while he was just in his teens he received a notice that some taxes were due. He said the money to pay them was the hardest money he ever earned. Save for a year or two's work in the mines in the mountains his whole active life has been spent in Sterling.
The many qualities of the highest womanhood and manhood possessed by him and Mrs. Morlan won them the prosperity that was theirs in Sterling.
Mrs. Morlan was just entering womanhood when she came to Sterling and she and Frank met while she was a waitress and he a guest at the Sterling house. Our Mrs. Morlan is an American woman and can act as servant or mistress, with equal facility, in any home.
The best wishes of friends innumerable follow them to their new home. May their prosperity be unlimited."
