Alice Mabel Emery Holder Mitchell Brown - 1930 residence

I thought I had possibly tracked down the 1930 US Census for Alice Mabel Emery Holder Mitchell Brown.    I have doubts that my theory of a marriage between Alice Mabel Emery to a Stogstill are correct.    Also having been married multiple times makes it difficult as I do not know which last name she used at any given time.    She also used her middle name often eliminating the first name which creates another issue.   It is interesting that Mabel used her first husband's last name after divorces from her subsequent marriages.

I did find a phone directory for 1930 listing Mabel Holder living at 4718 Winthrop Avenue, Chicago which was the Daniels Apartment hotel owned by her brother, Fred (Emery) Daniels.

Mabel's entry is on the left side, 3rd column midway down the page.



Here is a closeup of the entry:


The Illinois Bell Telephone company directory was labeled 'Summer Telephone Directory'.  For reference, the 1930 US Census for the Daniels Apartment Hotel, taken April 7th did not list Mabel as a resident*.    It's possible Mabel moved into the building after the census and prior to the publishing of the phone directory.

*The additional (15) residents listed were on the next page of the census.  I did not post the additional census page.
