A baby girl was born in Missoula on May 5, 1942. She was given up for
adoption. I don't know if she was given up at birth or shortly after, but a
young couple named Delmar and Gayle Egbert adopted this baby. She grew up
with the name Martha (she was called Martie) and she died a tragic death at
the age of 23. Her only daughter would love to connect with Martie's
biological family. Delmar (the adoptive father) came from a Mormon
background, so I don't know if the adoption was through the Mormon church
