Hobart|Timothy Dwight Hobart]], a [[Vermont]] native living in Pampa in Gray County in the eastern Panhandle, became the new JA manager. Hobart discouraged Cornelia’s young grandson, Montgomery Harrison Wadsworth "Montie" Ritchie (1910–1999), from remaining at the ranch, perhaps because Hobart’s son wanted to become the manager. Montie Ritchie, who held dual British and American citizenship, was hence given all the toughest horses to ride, and he was once abandoned by the hands after a bronco bucked him.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ranches.org/snooks_sparks.htm|title=Snooks Sparks|publisher=Ranches.org|accessdate=September 20, 2019}}</ref> | + | Upon Wadsworth’s popular-vote election to the Senate under the new [[Seventeenth Amendment]] to the [[Constitution of the United States]], [[T.

| | Cornelia Adair designated Hobart and [[Dallas]] [[attorney]] Henry C. Coke as executors of her estate. She died in [[England]] in December 1921. Earlier in the year, Cornelia had been at the JA and posed for a picture with the ranch hands on the celebration of her 84th and last birthday. In her will, Cornelia left most JA properties to son Jack Ritchie, and his heirs, including Jack’s sons. Her estate also put a financial burden on the JA for payment of her other debts. Not until 1948 was the Adair estate, with its accompanying debts and inheritances, finally resolved.<ref name=hbook/> | | Cornelia Adair designated Hobart and [[Dallas]] [[attorney]] Henry C.
