I just thought of something else; I have a list of the hotel's residents in June of 1870 (according to the Census), which contains the names, ages, occupations, and place of origin of 39 individuals. The list is as follows:
"...among it's several residents were fourteen domestic servants (Ann CONNOR, 18, from Wisconsin; Elizabeth KELLY, 30, Ireland; Bertha KISLERr, 18, Prussia; Mary MURPHY, 20, Wisconsin; Margaret ?, 19, Wisconsin; Lizzie NEARY, 16, Wisconsin; Angeline PITTS, 58, New York; Eveline RICE, 17, Wisconsin; Aynes SHEKEY, 18, Wisconsin; Gertrude PALMER, 16, Denmark; Anna BLINKNEY, 19, Prussia; Sara MURPHY, 20, Wisconsin; Tena D. AMMSON, 21, Denmark; and Marcia OVED, 22, of Denmark),In addition to these, there were three porters (Adam WARNER, 25, Wisconsin; Giddiny YOUNG, 23, Wisconsin; and James HANIGAN, 25, from England). The guests, at that time, included Edmond C. ATKINSON, 31, a community college teacher from Maine; an unemployed 82-year-old man from Virginia named John BARBER (possibly my g-g-grandmother Lucinda BARBOUR's father, who was born c. 1791 in Maryland), Robert H. BURMSLIN, 24, a store clerk from Prussia; James BYRNE, 25, an Irish-born lawyer; Horace BEDUNT, 28, a tinner (tinsmith) from New York; William L.
