I thought so too at one time but: in the 1920 census there is a Victoria, age 17, living with the Halseys and I take this to be the same person as Mattie V. - probably named Mattie Victoria. Ages would match. And in the 1920 census "Mettie B. Phipps," age 18 (Mettie was born in Jun 1902), is living with a Howard Smith and his wife Hattie E., age 21. Mettie is listed as a sister-in-law and Hattie E. is the daughter of Ben and Mazie Halsey. So I don't think Mattie V. and Mettie B. are the same person.
