Artist Signature Help Please

[Indian Steve]

I have three pieces of art that I can't make out the signatures on. I'm 64 and never learned to write cursive. My fourth grade teacher said that my cursive writing was SOOOOO Bad that I should just print. I've been printing ever since. My ability to read cursive is not that great either. Here are pictures of the signatures. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Those are some tough ones.

All I can really make out is the last one, the first name starts with L and ends in -ence and the middle name is Hurd.

Hope someone else can better decipher them

I see Lawrence Hurd June 12 on last one.

 

[Kentuckiana Jones]

first one could be Newton in the middle

On the first one, I see? Bertha Newton Davis but my wife says I am wrong …...and she is always right.

 

[Indian Steve]

I believe that you are right!

Sorry Steve... I would lend a hand... BUT...

Artworks and signatures are definitely my weakest point... best of luck...

BTW... I have a stack of acquired artwork I have no friggin clue about... one day.... one day... heh.

BUT... I do see... "Betty"... OR "Beth".... IMO... Newton Davis.

If you show a picture of each painting it might be found by subject matter of painting with artist name.Sometimes by showing the picture it can be found and then artist can be figured out.

This oil on canvas is the first signature.This print titled The Anderson Blacksmith Shed is the second signature. The third signature has been figured out.

The name on the blacksmith shed art is Christyl B B__ing.

Note: It is interesting to me that the blacksmith shed doesn't have a chimney.
