The Life and Times of Heady Green

In 1885, the financial house, John's, J. Cisco and son collapsed. Heady Green was the largest investor but her husband Edward had been the firm's greatest debtor. Upset by this turn of events, Heady withdrew her securities and deposited them in another bank. By now, she was less into stocks and a lot more into buying mortgages. She seemed to really enjoy buying mortgages on churches and foreclosing when they couldn't make the payments.
