What do you know about Dorothy Brewer Mohr Breese?

Once again looking for info on a property owner.
Dorothy Brewer Mohr Breese married Roy B. Mohr, an officer of an eastern railroad, and divorced him in pretty short order. 
Dorothy then married David B. Breese, an officer of First National Bank in Los Angeles--with Mr. Roy B. Breese  as her best man--and he provided the wedding dinner! A year later she filed for separate maintenance from Mr. Breese. In 1919 she was granted a divorce from him in Reno, Nevada, where he had established residency.
One busy lady!
She owned properties independent of her husband.
It appears that she was born February 22, 1874, most likely in Iowa. She died August 29, 1950, in Los Angeles.
An unrelated, but interesting fact: Her uncle was Justice David Josiah Brewer of the United States Supreme Court.
