She first appears in the 1900 Census of Hunt County, Texas (June 13, 1900), in the household of her parents as 'Izora Mabel.' The 1900 Census gives her age as 2 years and indicates her birth took place in May of 1898. The 1910 Census of Clay County, Texas, gives her age as 12 years and her name as 'Izora.' The 1930 Census of Maricopa County, Arizona gives her name as 'Mabel I.M. Adkins,' aged 31 on her last birthday. (Since the 1930 Census was taken on April 9, 1930, she would not have been 32 until the following month). Mabel Adkins' death certificate state her DOB as May 13, 1900; but, due to the inconsistency of the census records, it is believed that the year of 1900 is in error.
Mabel's mother died in December of 1900 and her father remarried to Mrs. Theodosia Walker. The combined family had relocated by 1910 to Clay County, Texas.
Mabel was a buyer for a clothing store when she met Roscoe Adkins, who was an advertising salesman, doing business with the store. One family story is that the store was owned by the Lewis family. Mabel's family objected to her association with Roscoe Adkins and threatened to disown her if she continued her relationship with him. There is no evidence of any contact with her birth family after she left with Roscoe. Years after her death, members of the Lewis family still believed her to be alive.
