I couldn't find her in the 1940 census. One of the newspaper articles claimed she was living with her Brother Nelson, so I tried looking for a 1940 census for him, I didn't find anything. Grace would of been 40 something when she had Lula. Lula may have had some mental and physical issues due to this, and needed care. Grace died in 1940 and was buried in Atwood, KS. This could be the reason I didn't find them in a census, they were probably traveling there to bury her.
