Contradictory records:

In the 2005 edition of the North American Region Studbook for the Asian Elephant, Betty #325 had the following information listed:
00 000 1969 - Born Wild Thailand
00 000 0000 - Capture
00 000 1972 - Hoxie Br
00 000 0000 - Hoxie Tuc
01 Nov 1986 - GC Circus
00 000 0000 - Hugo
15 Oct 1999 - Murray Hill

Those studbook entries are the result of a merge between two different elephants - Betty on the Carden show, and Betty that resided at Murray Hill's facility.

The correct information according to Ryan Easley is as follows:

00 000 1963 - Born Wild
00 000 1972 - Carson & Barnes Circus
00 000 1979 - Circus Girard

00 000 1985 - Toby Tyler Circus
15 Oct 1994 - Still with Donnie Johnson?
00 000 1999 - worked by Bobby Gibbs in Canada
00 Oct 1999 - Murray Hill Retirement Center
09 Feb 2007 - Dead, stroke
