Notes for Leilla Belle “Lulabelle” (Spouse 1)
Confusion = I have found a Lulu W. O’Brien who died on 30 Sept 1949 in Hartford Co, Connecticut. I’m sure it’s the same person, but can’t figure out why the different date from the cemetery records. Will have to do some more homework on this one.

Aunt Lulu Belle was a bit eccentric. She collected dolls and had them all over the house. We're not really sure why she did it, but at one point in her life, she put shelves on the front of her house -from top to bottom. She then covered the shelves in glass and put the dolls on the shelves. I remember my mother telling me that Uncle William wasn't happy. But Aunt Lulu Belle wanted the dolls to be able to see people passing by.745

8 February 1941 - there was a transaction between Clarence & his wife, Lulu Belle Van Beynum -some sort of a mortgage to her mother, Lulu B. O'Brien of Tampa, Florida for $2,000. This involved the houset lot/ "Willows" piece, i.e., which I believe, was part of their home their home.
