I'm hell to play Trivial Pursuit with too. What did I win?

See my other post about ant killers.

Nobody? Geesh, rough crowd. I thought it was funny. So instead of me googling.... Who is Katie Fisher? (Gasp!)

EDIT: NEvermind, curiosity got to me:

Kate Fisher is buried where the bearberries grow, in the sixth grave south (or left) of George Duncan’s grave on the Protestant Knoll. Better known as “Aunt Kate,” she came to Tin Cup in about 1879 and successfully ran a rooming house and restaurant. There a bed cost $1, and meals were fifty cents — hyperexpensive in times when most miners earned barely $3 a day.
Geraniums bloomed red all winter at Kate’s windows and were a welcome site to miners who spent their days underground digging for gold. Tin Cup’s children played in Kate’s backyard nearly every summer morning because they knew Aunt Kate would give them a baked treat.

And “society” ladies in fur or lace bonnets (depending on the weather), presented calling cards when they visited Kate.

Aunt Kate was dearly loved and respected by all who knew her. Upon her death at 70 years of age, Kate Fisher, a black woman and former slave, was buried in the Tin Cup Cemetery near the people who knew and loved her.
