Clara Grace Atchison was born in Montana, she first married Reginald Evans, then John Wallace McKee. She was a co-worker of Marilyn's mother Gladys. Sometime after her divorce from McMcKee, she and Gladys roomed together for a while. After Gladys psychotic breakdown, Grace became both the guardian of Marilyn and the custodian of Gladys estate. By 1936, Grace at that time a film librarian, had married to Ervin Silliman "Doc" Goddard (1904-72) who that year states his occupation as "actor"; they are living in Los Angeles. It's possible they seperated, as in 1938 and also in 1940, Grace is registered, without him, at the home of her Aunt Ana Lower, while Ervin is registered elsewhere. | Clara Grace Atchison was born in Montana, she first married Reginald Evans, then John Wallace McKee.

| − | Norma Jeane "Marilyn" lived off-and-on with Grace | + | Norma Jeane "Marilyn" lived off-and-on with Grace, sometimes while Grace was married to Ervin. Norma also lived in foster homes and an orphanage as well. It was during her last time living with Grace that Norma was encouraged to marry her then-boyfriend James Dougherty. By 1950 Grace and Ervin are back living together in Los Angeles. Ervin died in 1972 in Ventura County, I'm not yet sure when and where Grace died, but she is apparently buried near Marilyn. |
