Notes

Note: Bessie lived in Iowa, Nebraska and Arkansas as a child. She came to Washington in 1900 with her mother and step-father when she was 16. She appears on the 1900 census as a milliner. By 1910 she was employed as a stenographer at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where she worked until her marriage in 1913. While her husband was in the U.S. Army during WWI, she returned to Washington from Milwaukee and was again employed at the Department of Agriculture. Bessie enjoyed painting watercolors and china.

Note: NF5
Note: John Kane met Bessie Rumbaugh in Washington, DC, where he attended Georgetown Law School while working at the Patent Office. She was a secretary for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He continued the courtship by mail after he went to Milwaukee to work for Allis Chalmers (manufacturer of farm equipment and electrical generating equipment). According to church rules relating to "mixed marriages" that were in effect at that time, John and Bessie were married at the Diocesan Chancery in Baltimore (prior to the separation of the Diocese of Washington from the Diocese of Baltimore).
