Bertha Osborne Hutton was born in Gladesprings, Virginia on July 27,1880.
She had a son by a previous marriage to a Hutton. The sons name was Cecil Hutton born about 1901.
Mary Elizabeth also known as Bertha later married Charles Henry Towne and had two more sons. The oldest is Charles Leroy Towne born in 1911 and then Geaoge Emmert who was born about 1913.
They were divorced whe the boys were about 5 & 6.
Mary Elizabeth had a brother George Osborne who died a horibble death from burns related to throwing kerosene on the stove fire to get it going. He died in 1929.
Mary Elizabeth owned a boarding house near Chicagos Flat Iron Building.
She lost everything during the stockmarket crash. & later went to live with her son Charles on an island in the Fox river in Oswego,IL.
Mary E. Towne died of pneumonia at the age of 54 & Is buried in Oswego, Il.
I would like to know more about her first son Cecil Hutton & any other information I could get.
Perhaps the Huttons you speak of are related to Cecil.
That is all I know of Mary Elizabeth.Thank You.
