I have to wonder if Muriel's change in name had anything to do with her "business" in Florida. That really isn't typical to change one's name on a whim. Any chance she secretly married in Florida?
I love where your brain is! I'm trying to tease out more related to the name change because it's making it awfully hard to find her in various records (and the census is only public through 1950, which means that the only record I have of her through that is as a 10-year-old girl). One of my goals is to figure out, conclusively, whether she was married!
Realizing the two were connected was one of the weirdest moments of my life, Jesse! You know that "time is a flat circle" thing from True Detective? I felt a lot like that in the moment. Thank you for reading and your encouragement!!
