Note from Sandy:
I received email on 2/9/2024 from Ron Heller who also sent me a copy of the "Delayed Record of Birth" showing her mother's name, Clara LaVern Lynch and father's name listed as "Unknown".

Ron stated "She apparently was adopted later and took the name Osborn after her mother married Enoch Osborn in 1919."

I am including the top portion of the "Delayed Record of Birth" provided to me by Ron Heller.
