I was rereading the newspaper article in 1923 about Rita McKittrick learning of the death of her uncle Joseph White in South Omaha, Nebraska. First of all, she is referred to as Mrs. Rita McKittick. Secondly, it says Joseph's father was Michael White. Hmm. Then I realized they meant Michael Hennessy. But thirdly, they mention Joseph had a surviving brother Thomas whereas I have Thomas' death as Mar 4,1909. Am I wrong? Do I have the wrong Thomas? Or is the newspaper wrong?
I was also thinking of the newspaper clipping found by RJ137 in 1920, where Miss Rita McGettrick and Mrs. Michael McGettrick are visiting at the J.B.White residence on Dolph Street. Who is Mrs. Michael McGettrick. Do they mean Mrs. William McGettrick, Rita's mother? If so, Margaret must have remarried to William Smith after July 17, 1920. And could J.B. White be Joseph, or his brother James B. White?
