-- John --

Census: I checked the 1900 Census in Chicago for Jno., John M. and John Young and could not locate this John. (ADH 1/2004)

-- Flora --

Flora was one of many children from the Dubuque, Iowa area. Her father, a shoe salesman and later a shoe store owner, was apparently from the Alsace-Lorraine region. Even though the name appears to be of French origin, he considered himself to be from Germany and pronounced the name 'Mitchell'.
