Elsie Applegate was an 'outdoor' girl. She came home to 'Brookside' and ranched with her father. A petite woman, she rode well and could handle cattle in all kinds of situations, with great skill. She loved gardening and raised vegetables and flowers of superior quality. Plants thrived under her care.
