My word, my friends on the list sure get rowdy with me sometimes when I leave something undone. So here is the info I am searching for. Betty Mae Brown was the daughter of Septimus Brown and was born July 6, 1899 in Ellsinore, MO in Carter County. She married Ralph Waldo Brasher Sr in Cape Girardeau, MO, March 30, 1915 and became Betty Mae Brown Brasher. The happy couple would have two children; Ralph Jr in 1916 and Nolda May in 1918. By 1919 the happy couple was no longer happy and was divorced by the 1920 census. Sometime in the mid to late 1920s Betty would place her two children in homes for wayward children in Independence, MO. The two children were approximately 6 and 8 years old when this took place and I can't even guess how wayward a six and eight year child can be. They would remain there until 1933. Knowing her great beauty could not be concealed from the world for any great length of time, she headed for Hollywood where she would re-marry sometime in the 20s, 30s or 40s. (I suspect the 30s) The mystery man had a last name; "Stevenson," according to Betty Mae's death certificate of 1953, from Juneau, Alaska. No one in the family knows what his first name was. I know she appeared in a movie but have not one shred of evidence what the name was or what name she used; it could have been: Betty Mae Brown Mae or May Brown Betty Brasher Mae or May Brasher Betty Stephenson Betty Stevens Or any combination of the above names, but I suspect Brown. I have pictures of this grandmother, who I have always thought of as "the wicked witch of the north." I must admit she was a pretty good looking woman though. Most will remember my search for Septimus Brown's second family and my brick wall. As a refresher you can find that story at the below address. The found family was Betty Mae's sisters and brothers. http://www.ancestrymagazine.com/2007/03/found/she-had-me-at-junkyard/<http://www.ancestrymagazine.com/2007/03/found/she-had-me-at-junkyard/> The story was very well written by Megan Smolenyak, a professional genealogist for Ancestry Dot Com Magazine. There you have it, my father's mother and another closet full of skeletons.----Jim
