Buckles Blog: #11 Elephant Acts

Sunday, November 20, 2016

Carly Peterson and the Howard Suesz elephants (Clyde Bros.) "Mary", "Sue". "Ruth" and "Dixie".

Roger Smith said...: Mary and Sue were later teamed with young Margie, the trio worked by a string of Suesz alums, including Lou Regan, Wade Burck, and me. I was there in '75. A man on that show, known to me only as Tiny, told me some 3-4 years later that one day Mary dropped dead of heart attack. He said Sue took one look at her and also died in her tracks. Little Margie, then I believe in her late teens, grieved so hard, they all knew something had to be done. They called Dory Miller, and he agreed they should bring her at once to Hugo to be around other elephants. When they arrived and opened the truck, Margie had died en route. Anyone with other history of this herd, please share.; 20 November, 2016 19:09
