Ada's parents divorced when she was 6 years old. It was a messy divorce that involved accusations of infidelity and scandal.
Sometime after 1890, Ada moved with her mother and older sister Eva to Berkeley, CA. It is not immediately clear why her mother chose to relocate to Northern California. She did not have any relatives there at the time.
Her mother remarried in about 1897 to Henry Linnell and Ada can be found living with them on the 1900 census in Berkeley, CA.
Ada married Lewis Sage Gear, 6 Oct 1903, in Inverness, CA. They had two children, Carol & Marjorie.
Lewis was a Realtor they lost everything in the depression. They had a lot of property in Sacramento.
The lived the rest of their lives in the East Bay (Oakland & Berkeley).
Ada was remembered as a rather distant individual. Her grandchildren recollect that when visiting her dark home (the window blinds were always closed), they had to shuck English Peas sitting on awful wicker chairs that left waffle marks on their legs. The only food they remember her preparing for them was toast, and she admonished them for eating it upside down (who knew toast could be right side up)! Her lullaby of choice was some WWI battle song like "Tenting Tonight on the old Campground." Her husband Lewis was also remembered as being difficult who was not remembered fondly by his children.
