Notes for Frances Elizabeth Webb
A woman of “low moral character.” She was afflicted with venereal diseases due to her lifestyle. There are matching entries for her two children remembered by Fred and Lynn Webb (Betty and Billy) in the California Birth Index but an additional child (Max Jefferson) appears to have been born between the two. The information is:
