I recently learned that she may have been living in Noel, Missouri area in the 1950's. She was circus performer for many, many years and I'm trying to figure out if this area was where performers maybe stayed during off-season. My great-aunt's name was Bernice Pea Timberlake. She had a few different "stage" names. Billie Lake, Billie Timberlake, or Billie Silverlake. I guess I'm sort of hoping/praying someone in this area maybe able to give me some information on her or possibly the circus people. Thanks in advance.
