Mary Searight came from a family of great means and influence in Texas law and state government. Her husband, too, came from a prominent Austin, Texas cattle ranching family. After he died, Mary spent 30 more years on their Austin ranch before realizing she could no longer handle the responsibility of raising cattle and keeping up with the land. Though moving back to her hometown of Paris, Texas seemed ideal, Mary Searight’s choice to do so turned deadly.
