1938

Norma Jeane lived with Ida Martin since November 1937.

In March Grace visited her. She informed her that her mother Gladys had tried to escape the Norwalk State Hospital where she was hospitalized since 1934. So she was transferred to the Agnew State Asylum, an

institution specialized in mental illness, near San Francisco (,).

Monday, August 29, Grace came and took Norma Jeane back; she placed her to her own aunt Ana Lower, 11348 Nebraska Avenue. Norma Jeane lived there until the beggining of the 1940s.

Ana Lower lived from the income she earned from the bungalows and cottages she rented; she had bought the estates with her husband in the 1920s.
The Goddards lived by the way Odessa Avenue, in a house that belonged to Ana.
At Nebraska Avenue, she lived in a duplex where she rented the upper floor.
The State of California paid her $30 a month for Norma Jeane's costs.

She was a practitioner within the Christian Science Church.

Founded in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy, this religion was based on the fact that material wasn't real, and there was only one God. For substituing drugs and medication, the spiritual truth had to be asserted, the mistakes rejected and distinction between the absolute being and the fragile mortal life should be done.


Monday, September 12, Norma Jeane attended the Sawtelle Boulevard School ().

Gladys Baker was still in the psychiatric institution Agnew State Hospital.
