Braden Herman (Harmon, Norman) Braden (b. Aug 1982) was listed on the 1900 Census as being raised by his single mother Elizabeth Braden (b. Aug 1867 in Ohio to German immigrants). She was listed as being "married", but there was no man in the house. She was listed as having been married for eight years and having two other children: Mary (b. Sep 1894) and Carrie (b. Mar 1890). The family was living in Dayton (Montgomery County), Ohio, in a rental house. No employment is listed for Elizabeth, but there were three boarders, whose rent may have helped pay the bills. And maybe the absent spouse was sending money, too...? During the 1920 Census, Elizabeth was living with her sisters Anna M Walker (b. c1860) and Hazel J Elsner (b. c1873). Hazel was single, from which we can conclude that Elizabeth's maiden name was "Elsner". However, we cannot determine, to a surety, who her parents were. Anna M and Elizabeth were widowed by this point. The three sisters, along with a boarder, were living in Dayton (Montgomery County), Ohio, in a house that Anna M owned outright. Anna M was shown as having no job, but Elizabeth worked as a nurse at a local factory and Hazel J did sewing there; the boarder worked as a tool-maker at the same factory. Anna M had been married to John Walker (b. Dec 1854 in Ohio, parents as of the 1900 Census; the family lived in In the 1930 Census, Herman (now listed as "Norman E") was thirty-seven years old. He had married Mayme Delventhal eighteen years previously, around 1912. Their daughter, Mary Alice, was nine years old. Herman was listed as an automotive merchant; he was not a veteran. The family rented their house for $59.50 a month. Mary Alice had actually been named "Carrie Elizabeth" at birth; "Carrie" for her father's deceased sister and "Elizabeth" for her father's mother. But the Bradens were poor and Mayme's half-sister Anne Voss had married better and was childless, thus having disposable income. Anne told Mayme that she would pay for the bassinet and such if they would call little Carrie Elizabeth by the name "Mary Alice". Mayme couldn't afford a bassinet, so she changed her daughter's name. ("Aunt Anne" was known as a "clean freak"; for instance, when she had to "clean" the Thanksgiving turkey, she actually used soap and water. But she did dote on children, including Mary Alice's son Terence Daniel McLean.) [more to come] |
