  Obit, Bedie Etta Findley

  FINDLEY--Mrs. Beatty Etta Findley, widow of George L. Findley, passed away at the home of her son, E. E. Findley, early Tuesday afternoon. She had resided here for the last five years, coming from Las Vegas, N. M. She is survived by four sons, Ray and Elva [sic] of Albuquerque, Lee of Las Vegas and Rutherford of Spokane, Wash., and by two daughters, Mrs. C. H. Morrow and Mrs. C. W. Chandler of Albuquqerque. Funeral services will be conducted from the First Baptist Church Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The Rev. A. Hope Owen will officiate, assisted by the Rev. L. M. Walker. Interment will be in Sunset Memorial Park.

Notes:

Birth:

Named for her maternal grandmother, Obedience "Bedie" (Clark) Thornton, her name is seen variously as Beeda, Bedy, Bedie, but never as Obedience.

Name:

Bedie's death certificate and her obituary both name her as "Beatty" Etta. These are the only instances that I have seen of this spelling. Also seen as "Beda" and "Bedy."

Though named for her maternal grandmother, I have never seen her referenced with the full name "Obedience," and she was probably just named the shorter "Bedie."
