Alfred C. STRAUB
Emma Louise DURLING

WARNING: I have connected the Alfred STRAUB living alone in Chicago to his parents and his wife based on circumstantial evidence; further confirmation is certainly desireable (but note that in addition to the correspondence of names, dates, and places, another son of William Frank STRAUB also became a pressman, a decidedly specialized occupation). The marriage of Alfred to Emma, the identity of their daughter, and the identity of Emma's parents is documented and not in question.
