↑ "I think it is interesting that one did not have to go to court to change one's name way back then. My mother's real birth name was Elizabeth Blanche Harrison, but she didn't like being called Lizzie in school, so her mother just changed her name around to Blanche Elizabeth Harrison. This was the name on her small life insurance policy her mother took out on her many years ago and we cashed in when Mother died." ~ Doris Doyle. E-mail to Tim Graham. May 22, 2011.
