NOTES

Her mother remarried in February 1900 and Zora/Zarah was born in June 1900. Her mother must have
been pregnant with her when she remarried. Zora/Zarah's father did not die until 1901 so I assume possibly
that her mother and father divorsed.

All references to her give her first name as "Zora" but since the photograph implies it was from her (parents)
and the name is written as "Zarah" I would assume this is the correct spelling. Possibly she herself shortened
it or perhaps when she or her mother gave her name to the census taker and others they just assumed that
it was spelled "Zora".
