Supplementary Report, State Commission on Public Welfare Institutions : Department of Social Welfare and Member of the Commissions (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Supplementary Report, State Commission on Public Welfare Institutions: Department of Social Welfare and Member of the Commissions

One of my friends has passed on to her Reward. You would have been proud, as I was, to know her and call her Friend. She was a Sword Swallower. In the early days of P. T. Barnum's Greatest Show On Earth, she was one of Barnum's most sensational performers. She gave her performance in every city and town in America. She went with Barnum and his circus to Europe, and performed in every great city on the Continent. I shall never forget her telling me of when she was entertained by Royalty. She gave a special performance in Buckingham Palace before the late King Edward, son of Queen Victoria.
