Gladys was evidently in and out of various sanitariums for part or most of her life. Mona Miracle reprints a note from her mother Berniece which says (see [http://books.google.com/books?id=tDDy91iuO4kC&pg=PT21&lpg=PT21&dq=martin+mortensen+gladys&source=web&ots=SgPX57gVcG&sig=SjB93iU-dxpCV9m_WCiE9vE6xE4&hl=en#PPT36,M1]): "Next I wrote mother's Aunt Dora in Oregon...Eventually Aunt Dora got Mother released from Agnews State Hospital in San Jose".

| − | Gladys was released in 1945 ([http://books.google.com/books?id=tDDy91iuO4kC&pg=PT21&lpg=PT21&dq=martin+mortensen+gladys&source=web&ots=SgPX57gVcG&sig=SjB93iU-dxpCV9m_WCiE9vE6xE4&hl=en#PPT78,M1]), on the condition that she live a year with her aunt Dora Graham in Oregon. She studied Christian Science and became very interested in trying to heal people without medicine. She dressed in white, like a nurse and started taking housekeeping jobs while living in Oregon.

Her Social Security Number was issued by Oregon sometime before 1951. But in 1946, before her year was up, Gladys decided to fly down to Los Angeles and started living with Aunt Ana Lower (not her real aunt, but rather the Aunt of Grace McKee) (see [http://books.google.com/books?id=tDDy91iuO4kC&pg=PT21&lpg=PT21&dq=martin+mortensen+gladys&source=web&ots=SgPX57gVcG&sig=SjB93iU-dxpCV9m_WCiE9vE6xE4&hl=en#PPT81,M1]). |
At some point Gladys married a Mr Eley, perhaps while she was living in Oregon. Toward the latter part of her life, she moved, or was moved to Florida where as "Gladys Eley" she died Mar 1984 in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida. | At some point Gladys married a Mr Eley, perhaps while she was living in Oregon.
