"Silver City’s Own Elizabeth Warren,” at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

February 13, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Silver City’s Own Elizabeth Warren”
Pam Weber will present a program on Elizabeth Warren, who with her three children arrived via stagecoach in 1882, after Mr. Warren was ready for his family to follow him to Silver City. Widowed soon after, in 1885, this remarkable woman worked and prospered in several male-dominated arenas.
What she accomplished and how she managed it is the subject of Weber’s program. The Warren home still stands today and other signs of her work can be found around town.
Pamela Weber was born in Bisbee, AZ and moved to Silver City when she was 5 years old. Although raised in Silver City, she did not realize what fascinating local events had taken place throughout the course of the area’s history until her eyes were opened when she lived in Amarillo, TX as an adult and read “Black Range Tales”. From that point on, her interest in Southwest New Mexico history was insatiable. Pamela has served on the Silver City Museum Society’s board of directors and was the local Westerners Chapter “Drummer” (program coordinator) for nine years.
Pamela has always considered Elizabeth Warren to be a strong figure in the history of Silver City. She did not let adversity bring her down and always found a way to make lemonade out of lemons. Pamela has prepared a presentation about Elizabeth Warren, painting a picture of what Silver City was like during the time that Elizabeth lived here and how she coped with life events and made her own way in a man’s world.
We may have the back door open and ceiling fans going, so please bring a jacket to stay warm.
