Susan lived an uncommon life for a female at the turn of the 20th Century. She was an expert poulterer, living in Healdsburg, Pomona, and Indio, before following a married daughter to Rubidoux. Susan authored the 160-page book California Poultry Practice in 1915. Her book included plain hints for beginners in the rearing, housing, and feeding of poultry; protecting flocks from pests and diseases; and marketing of poultry products.
