Adaline was the daughter of Clarence Ray Bottorff and Flossie Arnold, who married on 9 Sep 1911 in Indiana. The couple had seven children together—an infant son (b./d. 12 May 1912); Homer Allen (14 Nov 1913 – 5 Feb 1958, m. Norma); Adaline Carrie (6 Feb 1916 – 5 Feb 1937); Hillard Ray (14 Aug 1920 – 25 Feb 1984, m. Claudine V. Booker); Mary Alice (23 Sep 1922 – 13 Jul 1954, m. James Monroe Davenport); Lowell Edward (27 Sep 1925 – 25 Jul 2003, m. Barbara); and Pansy Jane (14 Sep 1926 – 8 Aug 1898, m. Richard Clifford Erhardt and [unknown] Grover).
The family must have been lying low when the 1920 Census takers were knocking on the doors in Marshall County, Indiana. They did catch them at home in 1930, living on Dixon Lake Rd. in Marshall County’s Center Township (the Plymouth area). Clarence Bottorff, 42, was working as a truck driver for a lumber company. Flossie, 37, was keeping house. There with their parents were Homer, 16, Carrie (aka Adaline), 14, Hillard, 9, Mary, 7, Lowell, and 3-year-old Pansy.
Seven years after that census, Adaline died on 5 Feb 1937, one day shy of her twenty-first birthday. Carrie’s cause of death was noted on her death certificate as “rheumatic endocarditis,” a complication that stems from a bacterial infection that begins as strep throat or scarlet fever that goes untreated.
