Other children (all born Illinois) listed are Anna, b Mar 1874, and Arnold, b Dec 1890. A Gustav Hottinger married2120 10 Sep 1871 in Chicago, Catherina Rons(sic).

Child 1. Kathryn

Kay Veazie is mentioned as a surviving daughter in the 1964 obituary5986 Clara (Hottinger) Veazie.

Child 3. Ellen

Though indistinct, Ellen's age in the Jan 1920 enumeration3125 for Canyon Side precinct, Idaho, appears to be 4 1/12 years. The 1940 census1389 for Chicago lists "Billie L," age illegible, as a daughter of William and Clara Veazie (indexed as "Deazie"). Because the age is not clear in that record, it's not clear whether that daughter is, in fact, Ellen. Billie Teasley is mentioned as a surviving daughter in the 1964 obituary5986 of Clara (Hottinger) Veazie.
