[Gladys Esther Westphal was born in Minnesota in 1895 to John W Westphal of Germany and his wife, Ella, of Illinois. By 1918, Gladys had married Dr. Timothy J. Moynihan of Wisconsin, a man over 15 years her senior and born to Irish parents, and they lived at 420 Beacon Ave. in St. Paul for nearly 20 years.

[By the 1950s, Alta E. Butts had likely married Willard E. Dooley, a man nearly twice her age, becoming stepmother to Dooley's son, Byron. In July 1950, Willard filed for divorce from Alta, citing cruelty as cause. Three months later, Willard was dead. In March 1953, Alta died, aged 34. This is a reasonable narrative, though, aside from the records above, little else is available through a cursory search. More information is appreciated if available.]
