See . 60-61 in book Grace and Gumption:the Women of El Paso edited by Marcia Hatfield Daudistel for more details on Callie.
I remember this day, when we all took the photo with our great grandmother. Callie also bailed a lot of prostitutes out of jail, took them home, then fed and rehabilitated them. My mother told me that Callie took care of one woman's children for a whole year, until the woman was out of prison. (To Eva Ross: i'll try to find all the photos I have)
my grandfather Earl C Armstrong was a detective in the 1930s in El Paso Texas
Wish Lydia and Linda would add photos of their great grandma to digital wall.
She was also my great grandmother and Lydia is my cousin. We remember her well. Our grandmother told us that of the many prostitutes she arrested she ended up buying many of them bus fare home. She was only 4’11” but was a remarkable woman in every way.
March is Women's History Month.
Callie was my great grandmother! An amazing woman. ~ Lydia Cornell (Korniloff)
