Notes for Estelle May Roberts
In 1910 census, mother of 3, all living.E.M. Bothwell is listed as purchasing 160 acres of federal land in Jackson Co., Ore., under the Homestead Act., in 1910. It was in section 30, TWP 34S Range 2W of the Willamette meridian (in the area of Medford, Ore.

Since Estella and her husband, James A. Bothwell, resided in Los Angeles in 1910, it is supposed the land may have been purchased for Jane A. (Jennie) Bratney & family, James' sister. The tax roles for Jackson County show E.M. Bothwell & Mrs. J. A. Bratney as taxpayers through 1922 for Jane and 1923 for Estella. In some years it was noted E.M. Bothwell in Los Angeles. Jane's eldest daughter, Nell, appears on the tax roles in 1915 through 1936. E.F. Bratney also appeared in 1912-1914 and later in 1919 Jane's address is listed as c/o E.F. Bratney in Medford.

Nell appears solo on the tax roles through at least 1930 and in 1936, Nell and Bertha are listed. In 1938, no Nell but George Morris Bratney is added and last listing checked shows Bertha and George in 1939.

Estella took title to a 60x150 lot in Los Angeles, at 429 Manhattan Place north of Linden in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles in June of 1909 for $2075. (LA Times 6/27/1909
