Irene Bevington Bowman ^{1 2 3 4 5}

   Another name for Irene was Irene Sadie Bowman.⁶

  General Notes:

I'm not convinced that her middle name was Bevington. Her mother died just 5 days after giving birth to her in 1889 and her father had remarried within 4 more years. By the time she was 11 years old, she was being raised by her grandparents, Harrison Bowman and Irene Bevington. She appears with them in the 1900 US Census as "Sadie Irene Bowman" and by 1910 she was using just "Irene Bowman". In 1940 the census shows her married name as "Irene S. Tracy".
