An Ida Goodman shows up on the 1915 Kansas Census living in Valley Brook with her family H. Goodman, Maggie, H.C. and Grace. Other Ida Goodmans in California and Texas also appear in the census records.

Jeanette Gates (1899 to 1971) was Morris Gate’s sister.  In the 1917 City Directory she was a clerk and on the 1920 St. Louis Census she was a stenographer. She married in 1943.
