Biography

Bertha was born about 1895. Bertha Monroe ... She passed away before 1995 (estimate, life span less than 100 years).

Note: Uncertain about marriages to Alva Hayes and Unknown Abbott. Marriage to Hayes is an assumption, based on a stepdaughter Ruth M Thompson in household with Alva and Bertha on 1920 US Census in Putnam County, MO. Assumed that Ruth is the daughter of Pearl Thompson and Bertha Monroe.
Marriage to Abbott is an assumption, based on the name Bertha Anna Monroe Abbott in the 1927 marriage record with Ben R. Hackney.
Still need to locate marriage records of Bertha with Alva Hayes and Unknown Abbott.
