From Frank Vest Jr.(Grandson): After the death of Clarence, Bertha moved to OKC where she lived in a trailer house behind her son, (Frank's) house. She later moved to Seminole and lived in the same trailer at her Daughter, Myra's. According to the marrage license, she was married in "My home in Vigo". I don't know if this was her home or his, but I am sure it was in Indiana.
