Meanwhile, in California....



Mamie King, the eldest daughter of Maggie Atwood, was born in 1892.  She moved to Los Angeles, California in 1926 to work as secretary for a man she had been working for in Fort Worth   He was in the oil and gas business somehow.  About 1929 she married Cecil Bellah, an electrician for a movie studio.



Cecil particularly loved fishing and camping outdoors.  they spent their honeymoon camping at Yosemite National Forest.
