Notes:

Per obit in the Sterling Standard, Bridget was born in Ireland, came to America when a child with her parents, settled first in Canada, and later came to the United States, settling in Sterling where she married A. J. Wheelock.¹

Her obit in The Sterling Evening Gazette states that she was the sister of the late Hannah Benner of Sterling, who, according to other newspaper articles, was the sister of Mrs. William Everroad, nee Mary Evans, resident of Columbus, Indiana.² Mary's death certificate identifies her father as Jos P. Evans, who is almost certainly the father of all three sisters.³ Mary's obit fills in more details about the family history, and states that she married William Everroad in Illinois (Whiteside County, per marriage records).⁴

Trees on Ancestry indicate that Joseph Potter Evans and Mary Loughan were the parents of the three sisters.⁵
