Heath Family Newspaper Articles (1930s)

This page is for 1930s newspaper articles mentioning the familiy of Bert and Gladys Heath. There are a few mentions of them in Kansas newspapers but these are mainly articles from the Santa Ana Register. The family lived in Los Alamitos and Midway City as Bert worked in the nearby oil fields. The Register had sections mentioning local communities and what was happening there. The Heath family was mentioned frequently with the activities of Gladys and her clubs figuring prominently. I have no idea of the function or purpose of some of these clubs. It does give a flavor of life then. The letters in parentheses are the names of the newspapers in which the articles appeared. The legend is below.
