Notes:

Research Notes for Nellie Brehm:

Her maiden name was given as Miller in her husbands obituary.¹ But her surname is more likely to be Brehm.

In 1900, Nellie Brehm, age 15, born Jan 1885 in New York, was living in Buffalo with her parents, Herman Brehm, 60, born Germany, and Katharine Brehm, age 53, born Canada. Herman, 21, Susan, 17, and Emma, 13, were also in the household, all children of Herman Brehm.

In 1905, Nellie, 20, and William, 32, were living in Dayton. Per census, Nellies' father was born in Germany, her mother in Canada. They were living next to Kate Brehm, 59, born Canada, and her daughter, Emma Brehm, 18 - probably the same Kate (Katharine) and Emma in Buffalo in 1900.

In 1925, Catharine Brehm, 79, "mother", born Canada was living in the same household as William and Nellie in Horseheads, Chemung County, New York - lending more credibility to the argument that Nellie was the daughter of Herman and Catharine Brehm.
