Molly Brown

     The woman who would come to be known as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown" was born
on Denkler Alley and Butler Street in Hannibal, Missouri on July 18, 1867.  She was born during
a very bad thunderstorm and her mother predicted right then that Molly would not be "just
another pretty face."  Margaret (Molly's birth name) grew up in a small town with a surprisingly
small population of less than 20,000 people. (Heroine of the Titanic, 1)  Margaret attended
school for thirteen years.  It was during these years that she earned her nicknames Maggie and
Molly.  She had a very open and close family.  There were eight people in her small childhood
home. These eight consisted of her two parents, her five brothers and sisters, and Molly herself.
At the age of ten Molly's father taught her how to row a boat.  He insisted that this skill would be

Molly's parents decided to let her go because their small town had nothing to offer their
daughter.  Molly's main goal in life had always been to achieve success and be well known.
They hoped their oldest child could make her dreams come true in the great land of Colorado.
Once Molly got to Colorado, she was anxious to begin her own adventure and see what was in
store for her.  She got a job sewing carpets while she got her new life started.  Her co-workers
described her as a "capable and pleasant" employee.  They all adored her because she had a
bright, charming personality, and beauty to go with it.  Molly's move to Colorado was also a bit
