Anna May Murray Quaid was born in May of 1863 in New York. Her father is John Murray (1843-?) and her mother is unknown at this time.
She married Jeremiah H. Quaid (1859-1898) and they had one daughter, May Louise Quaid (1882-1925).
She was widowed in 1898 and was left to raise their daughter alone.
In 1904, Anna's daughter was married to Percy C. Harvey. Together, May and Percy had a daughter Alberta Maxine Harvey (1905-1993) in 1905, but a few months later they divorced. According to my grandmother, Alberta, her father Percy was having affairs and treated her mother May badly.
In 1905, it was frowned upon to be a young single mother, so Anna adopted her granddaughter Alberta, because it was acceptable if you were widowed. Together, Anna and May raised Alberta.
Anna's daughter May met Howard Leroy Williams and they were married.
In Jan 1911, Anna and her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter moved to Los Angeles, California.
On 26 Jun 1911, Anna May Murray Quaid passed away.
