Bertha Lee Ellison Owens

Bertha Lee Ellison Owens was born in Alabama. My mother told me that her date of birth was "adjusted" by her family so that she could attend school when she was 4. That would mean that she was actually born in 1906, and not in 1904, as documented in her Social Security records.

Bertha Owens married Noah Owens in 1929. They were married until her death in 1972. She died and was buried in California. Bertha and Noah had 9 children, 7 of whom lived until adulthood. They lived in Alabama, Texas, and California.
