At some point between 12 Jan 1906 and 1908 I believe this baby girl was placed up for adoption or given to a relative. According to the divorce papers (1910) During these years Andrew and Elizabeth had a very volatile relationship and he would “desert and leave her destitute” It is the belief of this author that Elizabeth was unable to care for this baby so she placed it with either an orphanage or a relative. We are awaiting DNA results to see if there are any descendants from this child and if they can fill in her story. I will update as I get more information
