Note:

Note from Kutrenia Brown:

Catherine was pregnant with Elsie when David R. Robertson sent her to live with her brother and sister-in-law in Dow OK. Her mom (Keziah) was also there in the 1910 census. Shortly after sending her away, David Robertson filed the original divorce papers (1910). After the baby was born, Catherine went back to Tennessee taking baby Elsie and Alvin with her. Grandma (Bertie Mae) supposedly cried to stay with her dad. As far I know, Grandma never went to Tennessee. Catherine probably assumed the divorce was final by 1915 as she was unable to return for anymore of the divorce proceedings once she got to Tennessee. She didn’t have the finances for the trip. (David R wasn’t paying child support per the divorce papers). We used to have a copy of the divorce, I will see if I can locate it. According to it, she was in frail health.
