Silver Dollar as a child


Rose Mary Echo Silver Dollar

Both Silver and her sister Lily were photographed in all their finery for Harper's Bizarre. Both girls grew up with extravagence. The Tabor mansion in Denver had one hundred peacocks on its front lawn. By the time Horace died, however, only Lily would remember this childhood and regret her mother moving the family back to the small cabin in Leadville to watch over the Matchless Mine. Silver grew up in Leadville, living with her mother after Lily left once and for all, to live with relatives.
