Mary Cranata: First of all, none of Harry & Bertha’s descendant’s knew Maggie’s cousin, who you claim you represent. You claim in the post that she spent one day August 13, 1953 at Camp Bertha. Sorry, but that doesn’t constitute any knowledge of what happened to Harry & Bertha’s Legacy. Harry, Bertha and Elizabeth BUILT the Rowell Ranch. Maggie was a Johnny-come-lately and she and her family, the Tyron’s, along with the executors of the estate that were appointed by Maggie, reaped the benefits of their hard work. Second, your facts are wrong – please show me where on this website that it says that Maggies’ brothers were executors of the will. It states that two employees of Harry’s were the executors. Please make sure you get your facts straight. If you truly have copies of the all the wills, you will know that at one time Maggie had a will that stated that there was to be a 99 year lease on the rodeo grounds. Obviously Maggie’s cousin doesn’t really know as much as you think she does. The will was eventually rescinded. Harry & Bertha’s descendants have a copy of that will – I am looking at it right now. Your statement about Maggie’s stipulation that if any beneficiary contested the will, their shares would be revoked. Well come on lady – she gave pittance to Harry & Bertha’s direct descendants – because Maggie hated Elizabeth because Harry and Elizabeth were very close and she hated Harriett, Elizabeth’s daughter and the grandchildren Sonny, Desiree and Paige. Maggie’s cousin wasn’t around, she has no idea what happened. MAGGIE KICKED Harry and Bertha’s descendants off the ranch after Harry died and they were never allowed back on the ranch. Obviously you did not read that part of the website neither. The rest of the stories about Maggie are not fit to post here. If you want to hear them, you can email me and I will relate them to you. You talk about the sale of the ranch and the rodeo grounds. They were sold off and none of Harry or Bertha’s descendants received any part of the money. There may have been 7 contracts on the ranch, but when Harry & Bertha’s descendants made an offer on something that rightfully belong to them, their offer was refused. By the way, we have been told by the son of the person who cared for Per when she was sick see Albert Tryon drove up to the ranch with a pick up truck, loaded it up and drove away with personal items and belonging to Harry and Elizabeth. Harry, Bertha and Elizabeth belongings did not belong to the Tryons. Their personal items belong to their descendants and they never received any of it. And if Maggie’s cousin know so much, then maybe she can tell Elizabeth’s descendant’s what happened to Elizabeth’s prized parade saddle that Harry had made especially for her. Maybe one of Albert’s descedant’s has it. You state that Maggie’s cousin watched Maggie and Persis working very hard feeding 50 hunters. Big deal. These people are doing something they enjoy – hunting is a sport. If Maggie’s cousin was really there, she would have seen the wives of the hunters helping also. The weekend hunts were for enjoyment. Maggie never had to work as hard as Bertha and Elizbeht. Bertha and Elizabeth died from hard work. They dug fence posts, worked cattle, skinned the animals in the slaughterhouse, feed all of the ranch hands 3 meals a day every day, hauled cattle to rodeos, and work 12 to 14 hours a day. And the fruits of their hard work ended up in the hands of Maggie Rowell who then gave it away to people who had no relation to Harry, Bertha and Elizabeth. Maggie might have been a hard worker, but she DID NOT BUILD THE ROWELL RANCH. – Harry, Bertha and Elizabeth did, and their descendants were robbed of their hard work and legacy.
