- NOTES: Betty Meyn emailed January 8, 2015. “As to Betty Foltzman, she has no relationship with either family. She was a very dear friend of Louise Brunken Karlin. They met at a nursing school and then she lived with Herman and Louise when Mildred was a little girl. She did 24 hour nursing care but used Louise and Herman’s home as a base when she was not working (similar to what the current home care nurses do today.) She later married William Neary and moved to Iowa. Louise and Betty N. stayed very close throughout their lives. Betty and Bill always felt that mom (Mildred) had named me after her as I was born on Bill’s birthday. I visited her a number of times with my grandparents and parents in Sheldon IA.”
