He would also welcome hearing from anyone with connection to, interest in or additional information about the people and events covered in this article.

ERRATA:

1) The photo on PNQ page 7 captioned “Eleanor, Carl, and Norman with her visiting mother and sister in Seattle, ca. 1914” should be captioned “Eleanor, Carl, and Norman with her mother and sister visiting Denver’s Lakeside Park, ca. 1914.” After publication, careful study of the distinct building in the background confirmed the location as Denver’s Lakeside Park.

2) The next-to-last paragraph on PNQ page 13 should read: “December [30], 191[5], I gave birth to another baby boy. We named him George Joseph. He died when he was two weeks old. …. George Joseph died January 15, 191[6].” The Washington State death certificate provides correct dates and clarifies the slight confusion in her original text.
