Carrie Patton b. Abt 1890 IA
Carrie delivered my mother on 5/18/1915 in a birthing facility in Portland which subsequently was taken over by the Salvation Army becoming that area's initial White Shield home and hospital for pregnant women.Never having been adopted, her original birth certificate was never sealed by any court.On it, mom's birth mother is named "Carrie Patton".Her age was (then) 24 and place of birth Des Moines, IA.In 1935, When mom was 20, a "Mrs. Anna May Johnston", a stranger, wrote with apparent knowledge of "Carrie" and said "your mother has married again". (This is why "Patton" is believed to be Carrie's married name or an assumed name).The letter went on to say "you are the grand daughter of millionaire Patton of this city". The letter is postmarked Portland. DOES ANYONE RECOGNIZE THESE NAMES?
