Millie married about 1902 to Robert Ray "Ray" Davison and had one son, Lowrie Imbert Davison, born January 6, 1906 in California; died July 4, 1995 in Los Angeles; buried Westwood Memorial Park, Los Angeles.

Ray's copper plaque fronting his cremation niche in the San Francisco Columbarium calls him "R.R. Davison 'A Hero' 1876-1922." I find he served in the Spanish-American War of 1898, in Companies E & H, 1st South Dakota Infantry. On 12 September 1918, age 42, he registered for the WWI draft (that war ended two months later). He was tall, slender, gray eyes, brown hair, a refrigeration engineer for Union Ice Company at the corner of Center & Julian in San Jose, California. In the 1920 census, he's superintendent of an ice plant. His son Lowrie, 14, is a newsboy on the street. Ray was born 26 April 1876 in Minnesota; died 21 Feb 1922 in San Jose, California. Mildred filed for a veteran's widow's pension.

Millie adopted the name Milda. The 1930 city directory of San Jose, California, calls her Milda C. Davison, a bookkeeper. She married 2nd in 1930 to Frank William Bloemer. He owned a clothing factory.

The 1906 photo shows Millie, her first husband Ray Davison, & their son Lowry. Millie's dates are wrong in the 1970 caption.
