Diane Morgan, May 2013 on why Margaret and Elizabeth went to Marrachusetts:

"The girls attended school there; my Grandmother went to the  New England Conservatory of Music. Not sure what Elizabeth went to. Elizabeth married and stayed there. Margaret did too, but not for very long."

Obituary:
Mary Higgins Dinsmoor was born in 1923 in Melrose, Massachusetts to Clark Freeman Higgins and Margaret Johnston Davidson Higgins.

In her growing up years, her time was divided between Beaver, Pennsylvania and Santa Monica, California. She attended Stuart Hall in Virginia, and then graduated from Stanford University in Drama. She became a protégée of Maude Adams, the first Peter Pan. Mary was an actress off Broadway. She spent a summer at Barter Theater in Virginia where she worked with Ernest Borgnine. She was asked by David Selznick to come to California for a screen test, but decided instead to get married.

She married William Bell Dinsmoor Jr. After his graduation in architecture from Columbia, they moved west, settling in El Paso in 1952.

She loved to perform and told stories to children at schools and libraries around El Paso up until December, 2007. For many years, she was "Trip the Clown", going to hospitals and charity events. She was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where she served in many capacities, but her favorite was in directing plays. She served a mission for the Church in the London, England Temple. Her children are so blessed to have had such a wonderful mother.

Staying on this side to carry on are her four children, Margaret (Kent) Loveless, Diane (Danny) Morgan, William Bell (Liz) Dinsmoor III, and Robert (Sally) Dinsmoor. She also leaves numerous adored grandchildren.

She will be greatly missed. Funeral services, which are being arranged by Hillcrest Funeral Home-West, will be at the LDS Church on Rosemont. Viewing will be from 9 to 10, and the Service will be at 10:30. Her body's, but not her spirit's, final resting place will be at Memory Gardens of the Valley.

Mary married William Bell Dinsmoor, Jr. on 4 Sep 1948 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, and was divorced in 1967. William (son of William Bell Dinsmoor, Sr. and Zillah Frances Pierce) was born on 2 Jul 1923 in New York, New York County, New York; died on 7 Jul 1988 in Athens, Central Athens, Anatolikis Attikís, Greece; was buried after 7 Jul 1988 in First Cemetery, Proto Necrotaphio, Athens, Central Athens, Anatolikis Attikís, Greece.
