    Notes 
    • When her father and mother were divorced, their 3 children (Eleanor, Ruth, and Jim) were sent to an orphanage "because Grandma Z. either couldn't or wouldn't take care of them. My guess is wouldn't from other stories I've heard. My Dad [also their father] paid their board and keep at the orphanage because he felt they would be well taken care of there and he had no other alternative. When he and Ma [Mary Vondra] were planning on getting married, she took the children. She was living in the house at the rear of the Homan Avenue (Zettek) three-flat building." [4]
