Biographical or other information about the person

https://mills-sfv.com/Genealogy/GLS/People/Text/347764.txt

This is sad, there are two find a grave memorials for her and neither has her actual birth name, although the reasons for that may be a bit complicated.

She was born Jessamine Louise Grundy in Los Angeles, California. She shows up with that name (or a close enough variant of it) in the 1930 census.

Apparently her parents split up between 1930 and 1940, because in 1940 her mother was living in Beverly Hills and married to David Stoddart Lockie (who I have taken the liberty of linking as her stepfather, although I don't actually know that to be the case).

She died in Winslow, Arizona, in 1940. The informant was her mother. I have no idea what she was doing in Winslow. I haven't found her father in the 1940 census so that's not terribly useful.

The Forest Lawn website has her listed as Louise Lockie (another reason I linked David as her stepfather). Her marker shows the name Nora Louise Dover. That is actually her mother's maiden name. I'm not sure if her mother was trying to obfuscate her daughter's identity for some reason, or if there was a really bad divorce and she changed her daughter's name to not be reminded of her ex-husband's name, which was Jess Leo Grundy.

BTW, her Arizona death certificate lists her as Louise Dover. She is buried next to her mother and David Lockie is on the other side of her mother. These are the known facts, make of them what you will.
