GO WEST Young MAN! The Jersey Lily: Court and bar: Bean charged $5 for weddings, and ended all wedding ceremonies with "and may God have mercy on your souls" (traditionally the end of a death sentence).Lilly Langtry DID Bean named his new saloon The Jersey Lilly in honor of Lillie Langtry, who recounted in her autobiography, that she had visited the area after Bean's death. In 1897 during her travels in the United States, Langtry became an American citizen. She divorced her husband Edward Langtry the same year in Lakeport, California. He died a few months later following an accident. A letter of condolence later written by Langtry to another widow reads in part, "I too have lost a husband, but alas! it was no great loss." A death sentence revoked indeed!
In 1888, Langtry purchased a winery with an area of 4,200 acres (17 km2) in Lake County, California, which produced red wine. She sold it in 1906. Bearing the Langtry Farms name, the winery and vineyard are still in operation in Middletown, California. I just called the link and: following the September Valley Fire which destroyed Middletown...someone answered the phone! I'm off to do a little tasting! http://langtryfarms.com/contact/
