Individual Details

In the 1920 Census, Etta lived on Cottonwood Street in Ladonia, age 57 born Iowa, both parents born in Illinois [an error]. Velma and husband Bill Bertram lived with her.

In 1930, she was living with son-in-law "Charlie" R. Haden - Robert C. Haden. Age 68, widowed, lists age at first marriage as 18, but this is incorrect. Born in Iowa, parents born in Illinois [which is also incorrect]. She is marked as "Mother" but she was Audrey's mother not R. C.'s - probably Audrey talked to the enumerator.
