Molly Behrend & Sharlot Hall
SHARLOT MABRIDTH HALL (b. October 27, 1870, d. April 9, 1943) moved from Lincoln County, Kansas to Arizona in 1882. She moved twelve miles southeast of Prescott, Arizona at Lynx Creek, with her father, James Knox Hall, her mother, Adeline Susannah Hall, and her brother, Edward "Ted" V. Hall.
Sharlot became a poet, a writer, a journalist, an associate editor of "Out West" magazine, and served as Arizona's Territorial Historian from 1909-1912. In addition, she became the first steward and curator of the Arizona Governor's Mansion in Prescott, which she eventually turned into a Museum beginning in 1928. Today, she is the namesake of the Sharlot Hall Museum.
ERNST RICHARD BEHREND (b. March 29, 1869 - d. September 22, 1940) was the founder in 1898 of the Hammerhill Paper Company in Erie Pennsylvania. In 1934, he and his wife Mary "Molly" Brownell Behrend vacationed in Arizona, and took a tour of the museum that Sharlot Hall had set up. In the year 2000, their photos and correspondence related to this visit were donated to Sharlot Hall Museum. Mrs. Behrend died in 1976 at the age of 96. There is a large collection of Ernst Behrend's papers reposited at Penn State University.
