Biography

In 1900 she was in her father's h/h in San Joaquin, CA and listed as a single 'glove maker.' By 1910 she was with her widowed mother in LA, a single stenographer at a 'fire insurance co.'

The 1930 census and her CA death record shows divorced, but no record yet of who her husband was. Based on the 1910 census, she apparently married in CA sometime between that count and the one in 1930.

The 1930 census also listed her as an insurance broker.
