A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Elizabeth J. Mooney (Ray)
She was born Elizabeth Mooney, but was adopted by her mother’s second husband and went by Elizabeth Ray most of her life. There is an entry for her in "U.S. Social Security Applications and Claims Index 1936-2007" on Ancestry.com, with her name given as Elizabeth Ray Hellem and her parents listed as James Mooney and Pearl Ewers. It also has a note that says her name was listed as Elizabeth Ray Hellem in March 1942 and as Elizabeth Ray Burch in November 1942, which seems to imply that her second marriage was in 1942. Emil didn’t die until 1979, so they must have gotten divorced.
From "Around Miami (Images of America)" by Santos C. Vega with Marlene Tiede and Delvan Hayward, p. 49 (Arcadia Publishing, Charleston, SC, 2011; obtained from Google Books):
Elizabeth Burch came to Miami [AZ] in 1946 from Portland, Oregon. She supported herself and her two daughters Tamsin Hellem and Delvan Burch by working at the Grand Theater and later at the Miami Inspiration Clinic and Hospital. Located on the second floor of the Miami Valley Bank Building in the early 1950s, the Miami Inspiration Health Dispensary served mine employees and their families.
