Bill and Katie Otto Family-1920 Federal Census Chicago ED#403

I found Katie (nee: Catherine Edwards) Otto's family listed on the 1920 Federal Census at 6201 S. Vernon, Chicago, Ill. (Near 63rd & Cottage Grove and I believe an area that had many apartment buildings). Katie was the daughter of George Edwards, Jr., Grace's brother (who was about 22 years older than Grace). Although Katie was Grace's niece, Katie was only about six years younger than Grace. Katie was also the sister of Francis Edwards Davis who was the mother of Dr. Jack Davis-my doctor in the 50's'for a couple of problems (e.g. shotgun wound).

George Edwards, Jr. age 55 died Oct 9, 1918 apparently in at least part due to the great influenza epidemic in the U.S. around that time. His wife/Katie's mother, Mary Mahoney Edwards, and several of her children,etc were living with Katie Otto's Family per the 1920 census. Her family had a daughter named Helen J. Otto whom I don't recall. Doris apparently was born after 1920.
