1912In 1912 Analysis of birth parents for Bernice Elizabeth Macy (born 03 July 1912):
Likely father: Charles F. Boyer
Likely mother: Elizabeth M. Foster
---------
DNA test links to likely great grandfather as Henry Foster and grandfather as Jackson Foster. DNA matches with 3 of the 4 children of Jackson and Jennie Foster (Ava, Lula and Bessie) indicates a DNA connection through a sibling (not any of those direct lines), so pointing to Elizabeth Foster as birth mother. Elizabeth was unmarried in 1912, and married Clarence Porter in 1917. They had no children.
---------
DNA shows connection to Boyer line. Potential father Charles F. Boyer. Charles was a night marshall and he worked in the oil fields in Kansas. In 1909 Charles was married to Mary Ann Scott and had a baby girl in 1910. No other children were born to that union.
---------
In the 1910 census the Lizzie (Elizabeth) Foster family and the Charles Boyer family lived in Willow Fork and Pilot Grove, Missouri respectively, which are only 20 miles apart.
--------
according to William Aubra Chamber's WW1 draft registration, the family was living in Des Moines, Iowa in 1917. I cant find solid evidence that they were there in 1911-1912 when Elizabeth was pregnant, but if they were it would not be unreasonable that she, unmarried and pregnant, would have left Willow Fork and gone to stay with her sister's family in Des Moines where Bernice was born.

DateLocationDescription
She went by her middle name, Maxine, and the nickname Max. Max was only four years old when her mother passed away. Her father, who was 83 at the time, arranged for Maxine and her two sisters, Mary Lee and Eva Mae, to be cared for in the home of Noah and Blanche Asbury in Moniteau County, Missouri, where they appear in the 1930 US Census. The three sisters were later sent to live in an orphanage in that same county. While in the orphanage, they were befriended by a woman, Mrs. Funk, who paid the tuition for all of the sisters to go to college. Maxine was adopted by Rev. and Mrs. William Askew and required to sever all ties with her sisters. However, as adults, the sisters reunited and were very close. Max married Willis Sutherland on August 22, 1949, as Vera Maxine Askew. Their children were Paul Willis Sutherland, Jr. and Susan Ann Sutherland. Max was a social worker in Peoria, Illinois.
