She was christened Cora Biggs, and born at Buzzard's Roost (!)Texas, probably, as you say, in 1903. My grandmother, Lillie Anne Walton later married David Cromwell Oliver and my Mother, Hannah Towne Oliver was born in 1908. After leaving Texas, Cora (Corinne all her life), may have stayed with the Olivers in Iowa, but she never mentioned it. I believe that she was in New Orleans about 1917, and there met and married Robert Piozzi or Piozzo. It was then, when they joined lillie and Hannah in Los Angeles, that she and her husband changed their names to Robert and Corinne Cromwell. Robert developed Glo-Co hair tonic at the same time as Vitalis was introduced. He made an immense amount of money and built a mansion in BelAire, California. Corinne was a great beauty, and I have pictures of her from 1910 onwards. The Cromwells had a son, Robert H. Cromwell, Jr who lives on Lido Isle, in Newport Beach. Robert Cromwell, Sr was int! erned at the Santa Thomas prison camp in the Phillipines in WWII, and eventually came home to California, and he and Corinne were divorced about 1946. My aunt Corinne was loved by her friends and family fror her good humor, high style and remembered for her splendid dinner parties, crackerjack bridge and poker. Unfortunately, both my Grandmother Lillie Ann Woods and Corinne died slowly after long years of suffering from Alzheimers. Corinne died, I think, about 1985. Lillie did not drop from sight, as her parents corresponded with her until they left Runge, Texas to visit Clifornia, and then exchange visits were almost annual. David Cromwell Oliver either died in the 19-teens or they were divorced. Either David was a suicide about then, on not until 1928, data unreliable. Lillie married Hiram Simpson Walton in 1920. Hi called Lillie Anne 'Betty,' and the name stuck from then on. She became a Lifetime Grand Master in bridge as Betty Walton and lived until 198x. As I was born in 1928, I knew both Corinne and Lillie Anne very well. They both had sweet dispositions and I miss them.
