Betty Louise Moorhouse

Betty Louise Madsen Moorhouse

    

Just a few pictures I have of Mother that I thought you all would enjoy.  That is Mother's own handwriting under the first photo.  No year is posted on it, but I would guess 1932 or so.  And the 2nd photo, she looks about 6-8 years old would be my guess.

The Moorhouse Residence in Boise

So I just found in the 1940 Census what the address of Elwin and Leila Moorhouse's house was.  I'd say it was 1300 North 23rd Street in Boise, Idaho.  I've wanted to know for years where the house was that Mother (Betty/Betsy Louise Madsen Moorhouse) was raised in, but figured that there was no way to find that out.  I just happened to be going through source material on the Family Search site for Mother's dates, and went to look at the census, and it looks like the address is there!  Yay!!  Here is the link 

Luckily, the Moorhouse family is right on top of the census page.  :-)  You will need to zoom in to read it though

Then I went to google maps and found the address:  there is still a house there, and zillow says it was built in 1931, so it must be the same house.  Here's a link to a picture of the house.  I'm so happy to have found it!!
