  Notes	BERTHA REMAINS A MYSTERY.......... Bertha is an unknown child, those of us living today from several families do not remember hearing her mentioned, however, all research points to the fact that she was indeed the youngest child of W A & Sarah Elizabeth. Bertha S. wife of J B Lee b Sept 21, 1885 d May 12, 1905 is buried next to grave of Sarah Elizabeth Douglass Stewart in Dresden Cemetery, Navarro County, Texas. Bertha is found living with sister, Annie, and her husband in 1900 census - W A Jr is also living with the Alexander's. Bertha could have been a child of Albert Franklin and Eoline as far as date of birth but "why" would she have been living with Annie and W A IN 1900?
