During the early mining days, men would arrive in town with little or nothing, and be wealthy with just a few swings of a pickax. Around the turn of the century one of the best known personalities from Park City was Susanna Bransford Emery-Holme- s, Utah's Silver Queen. Susanna Bransford and her mother worked as seamstresses in a small shop in Park City. She married Albion Emery, a bookkeeper who had moved to Park City in 1880. A1 Emery had no apparent knowledge of mining and even less of money, in 1889 he bought a third interest in the Mayflower mine for $8,000. Where he received this money was at first a mystery and after his death it developed into a scandal over the settling of his estate. The Mayflower soon found rich ore deposits and was able to buy up most of the surrounding claims on Treasure Hill. In $3-a-d- ay August, 1892, the Mayflower acquired the Silver King Claim and the Silver King Mining Company was incorporated for $3,000,000, with Emery as one of the directors. With the rich finds' of the Silver King, Emery and Susanna became millionaires overnight. Many of the successful miners were conservative witn their new their wealth and A1 and not with so But money. Susanna. They began a continuous spree of traveling and entertaining. Why live if you cant enjoy yourself? was Susannas motto. This new life was too much for Albion. In June, 1894, he died in San Francisco from heart and liver failure while returning from Hawaii. After four months of litigation Susanna was awarded Emery's estate and she continued the lavish life style she had become accustomed to. She entertained ed in Paris, Washington, and New York and was known throughout Utahs Silver the world as Queen. In 1889, she married Colonel Edwin F. Holmes, a millionaire from Chicago with mining in- terests in Idaho and Utah. Holmes bought the Gardo House in Salt Lake which was built by Brigham Young for his wife Amelia. Each room in the Amelia Palace was redecorated in a different motif and the parties continued at a whirlwind pace. Susanna's clothes came from Paris. She received a personal invitation to the coronation of Edward VII. She had danced with the Prince of Wales. After 28 years of marriage, Holmes died in 1927 leaving Susanna an even greater fortune. The Silver Queen continued her worldly travels and entertaining. In 1930, she met and married a Serbian doctor, Radovan Delitch. This marriage ended in divorce two years later, and Dr. Delitch committeed suicide while crossing the Atlantic. It was not long before the people of Park City were hearing that Susanna was courting two Russian princes. It appears that Prince Nickolas Engalitcheff was the winner. In 1933, they were married twice in New York in civil and Greek Orthodox ceremonies. Within two years Susie was widowed' again. I am un- fortunate in keeping husbands, was the reply to a reporter who questioned her about future marriage planes. In 1942, Mrs. Susanna sford Emery Holmes Delitch Engalitcheff died at the age of 83 at the Putnamm Inn in Norwalk. Connecticut, while on her way to visit friends in Virginia. Right up to her death she was a much sought-afte- r society leader. She was buried in Salt Lake next to her first husband Albion Emery. At the time of her death.
