Notes - Her obituary notice lists George and Mabel MOSHER as her brother and sister and also states that she was adopted by an ENGLEHART family. Since she was born three years before the marriage of Sam and Vera (HARPELL) MOSHER, it seems most likely that she was the illegitimate child of one or both of them. But she is not mentioned in the obits of Sam, Vera, George, or Mabel.
The identity of her adoptive parents is confirmed by her adoptive father's "Lethbridge Herald
