Notes:

                   NOTE: The IGI lists a second husband, Harry Armstrong, but there is no other evidence of this.  Also, on the 1930 census, she is shown with two children born after her divorce with Henry, still carrying the Butler name, as she is.  Either there are some errors on the census, or these daughters were born out of wedlock, and the father is possibly Harry Armstrong.  We were unable to locate a Harry Armstrong in Chicago in 1910 or 1920 who is born in New York (the daughers list their father's birthplace as NY) and fits the criteria.  No additional information about these daughters is known.  Further research is needed.

                   NOTE: From family records - Alice didn't like her middle name, so at age 11 she changed her middle name to Carol, but never had it changed legally.  Also, her birth record shows a birthdate of 9 June 1906, although family records show 19 June 1906.
