Known around Seven Rivers for her hospitality, Ma’am (as she was called) came across Billy the Kid when he quite literally stumbled onto her doorstep. He was half-starved and exhausted after having walked for three days after being attacked by Apaches. The Kid stayed with Ma’am and her family (husband Heiskell and ten children) for a few days and became good friends with one of their sons (John} in particular.
