Eight children were born of this union and six grew to maturity. The oldest son, Clifford Everett served in the Army during World War II and was captured on D-Day, June 7, 1944 and was held prisoner by the Germans for ten months, when he escaped. The second son, Carl Lee served in the Navy during World War II, lost his life in a plane crash in the performance of duty on June 8, 1943. He was first buried in New Calendonia and later the remains interred in Jefferson City National Cemetery.

Bertha was a faithful Baptist all of her life, becoming a Christian at an early age. Many times she and her children walked the three miles to Flag Springs Baptist Church.

In 1937, the family moved to Tipton, Moniteau County, Missouri, where Bertha worked in the Tipton Pants Factory.
