Wealth
The Slaughters became very rich as time went by, and Viola became known for enjoying things that women at that time were not used to, such as using expensive dresses for dinner. The family dinners were equally known in Arizona society circles, as these usually included fresh vegetables, jam, cream and other exquisite ingredients of the era.
The Slaughters were known for being an affable family, and the San Bernandino ranch later became a hang-out place for rich, poor, neighbors passersby, friends and anyone who happened to cross in front of it and felt like talking to someone. One frequent visitor was Billy the Kid, who became friends with the Slaughters.
