ditto in 1920, Grace listed as 4y1m, G. Albert was some sort of metal worker or machinist.

In 1919, George and Elsie listed as having a house on Bridge Street in Chelmsford. His occupation then was 'farm hand'.
In a 1931 Directory for Chelmsford, MA, G. Albert and Elsie M. listed as 'livestock' on Hall Road, with residence the same. (I'd gather that meant they raised lifestock for a livelihood. This makes sense, given his occupation as 'cattle dealer'.
Believe G. Albert died before 1949, as by that directory, Elsie listed simply 'Elsie, Mrs.' housekeeper at 39 Chelmsford Street in Chelmsford.

     Azor Betts Excerpt from book by Mary Jane Galer:

Dr. Azor Betts was thirty five years old when the Revolutionary War began in 1775 and was an established Doctor in New York. He had married Gloriana Purdy, daughter of a wealthy farmer, in 1764 and by the time the fighting began they had four children - Elizabeth, Sarah, Charlotte and Hiram, to protect and care for.

He was a pioneer in trying to control smallpox through inoculation and was arrested and jailed twice in 1776 for inoculating Continental Officers for smallpox. The disease was known to kill more of the troops than bullets.

Although the Betts suffered many hardships during the eight years of war, the hardest fight for survival was still ahead of them. On May 18, 1783, they were in the Spring Fleet that sailed into the Harbour at Saint John. Their six children ranged in age from sixteen to two years old.

By 1796 the family had moved to Kingston, Kings County and Dr. Azor Betts practiced medicine there. He opened the first type of isolation hospital, when he isolated smallpox victims in outbuildings. In 1802, five years after Edward Jenner developed a vaccine for smallpox, Dr. Azor offered his services free to vaccinate all citizens in Kings County.

Life in this wilderness was difficult. Gloriana had been taken from comfortable surroundings and servants and had to cook with heavy iron utensils, using a fireplace as well as make candles, soap and the clothes for her family. Raising a family under these conditions was not easy for her.

On September 14, 1809, just one day after his sixty ninth birthday, Azor died of consumption in Digby, Nova Scotia and is buried there beside his daughter Elizabeth Wright, in the churchyard of Trinity Anglican Church.

Gloriana came to Saint John and lived with her son James until her death at the age of 69 on March 16, 1815 and is buried in the Loyalist Burial Ground.

The 116 page well documented book ‘Dr. Azor and Gloriana Purdy Betts' - Loyalists and Hearty Pioneers, written by their great-great-great grand daughter Mary Jane Galer, gives us an intimate look into their lives as Loyalists during the Revolutionary War and the hardships they endured physically and financially after their arrival to the Saint John area as well as the story of the lives of their descendants.

Mary Jane Galer became an orphan at the age of six and went to live with her mother's relatives. As the years passed, she felt a need to find information on her heritage to leave as a legacy to her descendants, thus evolved the book

The author placed herself in the shoes of Azor Betts and his family and has portrayed the conditions under which they lived before, during and after the Revolutionary War.

Interestingly, many BETTS connections to Digby are thence connected to Azor, where in reality, chances are better they were descendants of Hiram, who lived most of his life in and around Digby Co, NS. He was born on 13 September 1740 at Norwalk, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA. He was the son of Nathan Betts and Mary Belden. Azor Betts married Glorianna Purdy, daughter of Gabriel Purdy and Bethia Miller, in 1764 at Westchester County, New York, USA. Azor Betts died in September 1809 at Digby, Digby County, Nova Scotia, Canada.
