I just received an email from my cousin Diana. She
tells me that her mom, (my Aunt Dot) says that
“Gram's name was actually Cora Berthella Barker
although Gram always swore that it was Bertha!”
I guess Gram just didn’t like the “ella” part of Berthella
and used a woman’s prerogative to drop it.
Diana also tells me there was another Bertha West
living in the area, a wife of a West cousin in Errol N.H.,
so I’ll have to look into that, too!
But there's still that Clora....
