The Courthouse at Paterson burned in 1902 and so Daisy said there was no birth certificate available for her or her sister. They had to use something else for their Social Security proof. A later search of the New Jersey birth records showed the birth of Daisy, but no name was given the baby at the time. Their birth dates are confirmed in the 1900 census. Daisy graduated from Vassar in 1910. After her mother died, she is living with the Fordyces and her sister after graduation at 73 Twelfth Avenue in Paterson. She met Bill Moffit in Paterson when both of them were teaching. It is assumed that they returned to Morganfield, Kentucky at the end of the teaching year for Bill at Drake Business College. She and Bill also convinced her sister, Louise and her husband, Wilfred Lloyd-Smith to move to Morganfield as well.
She taught at Morganfield High School after moving to Kentucky. She could not get a Kentucky teaching certificate because some Vassar classes were not acceptable. Daisy maintained connections with her cousins and exchanged photographs and letters.
