Notes

  • The last born child of the family has a strange name.  Genealogies differ on the form of the name, and it is transcribed differently in different sources.  Some have the name as Dorsey or Dorsie, based on the Ancestry.com transcription in 1900.  It looks like Dessie.  Transcribed by Ancestry as Darsie, which it could be.  But Ancestry transcribes the name in 1910 as Dessix.

    I found his own signature on his WWI draft registration card very clearly as Uberter Desiax, as well as matching the name as written by the registrar. There the name is Uberter Desiax.  The added R on the end of Uberta seemed to represent the local pronunciation, which we still hear in rural accents.  In censuses it is written Uberta.  However, I found that his California Death record has it spelled that way.

    In the 1910 census, Dorsey U is first reported as the last child of Edmond and Frances Briscoe.  His name is more commonly Uberta in records, and as we see in 1920, he goes by Uberta D.  I wonder where they got that name?

    Uberta and his wife Julia divorced before 1935, when Julia and their youngest child Carlette (Carletta) are reported back in Julia's home area of Jackson County, Missouri.  I have not found Uberta in the 1940 census.

    I found him in the 1954 and 1956 city directories for Palo Alto, California.  His son Alton is also reported there in those years, and in several previous years back to 1942.  Alton is also in the 1955 directory, but Uberta is not.  But in 1954, Uberta's wife is reported as Ruth, then in 1956, no wife is reported.  But in later directories, Uberta's wife is Lula A.  The A may stand for her maiden name, which we do not know.  Ruth may be another given name for Lula.
