<table><tr><td>Finally, on 31 Jan 1934, the ''New York Times'' reports "Dalls in Seperate Homes". Blanche Wiesen Cook relates that during a trip with the members of the family, one of the reporters who came along was the ''Chicago Tribune's'' John Boettiger, with whom Anna had fallen in love. "Mrs. Dall was divorced from her first husband, Curtis B. Dall, July 30, at Minden, [[Nevada|Nev]]." (Syracuse Herald, Jan 18, 1935, p 11) Six months after her divorce, on January 18, 1935, she married journalist John Boettiger, who had also just divorced his wife. Anna retained custody of the children. John, Anna and the children went to Seattle "...where he became manager of a Hearst-owned newspaper."<sup>[[#Footnotes 4|M]]</sup> By John, Anna had her third child John Roosevelt Boettiger on 29 Mar 1939. After John's death on 31 October 1950, Anna married thirdly on 11 November 1952 at Malibu, [[California]], as his second wife, to James Addison Halsted.</td><td>http://lts.brandeis.edu/research/archives-speccoll/findingguides/special/vechten/images/folder4/annarooseveltboettiger4-9-19354-25.jpg Anna (Roosevelt) Dall</td></tr></table>

Meanwhile, Curtis married secondly in 1938 to Katharine Miller Leas (1917-2000), they had four surviving children: Katharine, Mary, Stephen and James~~. Dall was elected Governor of the Associates of Stock Exchange Firm in 1932~~. In the 1930's "...he helped to organize what later became the Tennessee Gas and Transmission Company of Houston, one of the largest corporations in the country. But he sold his interest before the company's real growth began."<sup>[[#Footnotes 1|A]]</sup> He served in the army Air Force from 1940 until the close of World War II. In the 1940's, he became active in politics, campaigning "...for Strom Thurmond, who was the Presidential nominee of the conservative States' Rights Party".<sup>[[#Footnotes 1|A]]</sup>
