The First Sutherland Sister Dies
However, tragedy would strike the family when the sister with the thickest hair, Naomi, died in 1893. Naomi died shortly after the sisters moved into their completed mansion. So, while she was able to see the complete work and live within its walls for a short time, she was never able to enjoy the life her sisters did. At the time of her death, Naomi was 40 years old. While the family was devastated, they did not wait long to start looking for a replacement for Naomi. The family held auditions and found a young girl named Anna Louise Roberts.
With their new addition, Anna, the girls continued to tour and sell their hair products. As the money kept rolling in, so did their luxurious lifestyle. Of course, like with many rags to riches Hollywood story, not everything was as well-rounded and fun as it seems. With their new home and parties came the trouble with drugs and alcohol. Throughout their lives, only one of the sisters, Victoria, married. She married around 1899, at the age of 50, to a 19-year-old. Unfortunately, in 1902, she would pass away.
