Bertha Jane
Bryan was born in 1890 in Montezuma, Iowa. Her parents were Oliver Bryan and
Mary Emma Doyle. Before Bertha Jane was
ten, her family moved to Rawlins County, Kansas. She had two sisters that were living at the
time of her birth, but another sister had died as an infant in 1884. Bertha also had two brothers, but the one who
was the youngest died in 1910 at age 17 in Colorado.
Bertha
married Clifford Franklin Blackmore in 1914 in Riverside, California. She was twenty-four at the time. So, she had lived in three states before
ending up in California.
Bertha and
Clifford had four children.

Bertha Jane
Bryan Blackmore and Clifford Franklin Blackmore are both buried in Loma Vista
Memorial Park, in Fullerton, California.
I hope to get photographs of their grave markers sometime during 2014.
