Goldie
Firstborn, Juanita “Goldie” M. Busby born either May 19, 1897 (per her death records) or 1901 (per 1910 census), which would have been the year after her parents married. The origins of her name are unclear; perhaps her nickname was a reference to the local gold mines? Goldie married tractor engineer William Wesley Butler on August 4, 1919; he was killed in a vehicle accident September 23, 1921 in Oregon, when their first son was a year old and Goldie was pregnant with another. The young mother came to San Francisco with her 2 sons after Sally had moved here. She soon married her second husband, Orville Evansizer, with whom she lived the rest of her life near San Francisco, much of the time in Berkeley. She died January 13, 1976.
