Apr death year, as well as arrival at Barnum from Hagenbeck 1904. This elephant had been imported by the Barnum Show in the mid 1890's, she was included in the Herd that made the European tour, sold back to the Hagenbeck Zoo in April of 1921 along with Jess, Mary and "Vanita" for replenishment of the zoo's stock after WW1 and surprisingly made her fifth crossing of the Atlantic Ocean when purchased by Charlie Sparks in 1923.
