Editor’s Note: * An infection of the pad of the finger is called a felon. (Who knew the things you could learn here!). I was wondering where D.A. Cuddeback traveled from and I think it was Lorraine. According to Wikipedia “The Paris post office opened in 1903, changed its name to Loraine in 1912, closed in 1918, re-opened in 1922, and closed for good in 1926.” And the reference to Amalie may be to the Amalie Mining District. In the item about Olive Smith, “Ryeolite” is probably Rhyolite, Nevada, now a ghost town.
