  Notes	Irene’s graduation picture “CHS 1921” was done by a studio in Minneapolis. In the 1927 Minneapolis city directory, she is Irene Fogelquist, stenographer, living at 3900 13th Avenue S, with her father. Irene and her mother were living in Los Angeles at the time of the 1930 census. Irene “and her husband” first appears in Cora’s diary in September of 1937. According to his obit, Sandy was survived by one grandson. Lyle and Irene and family apparently lived in Minneapolis between late 1942 and mid-1946 according to Cora’s diary. Irene and Lyle and family moved back to California in July of 1946. The Dawsons are not listed in the 1944 Minneapolis city directory. On 2 July 1946, according to Cora’s diary, the Dawsons left Minneapolis and moved to California. In the 1949 Los Angeles city directory, which includes Monterey Park, Irene, the widow of Lyle, is a music teacher living at 821 Hershey Ave. In the 1952 Los Angeles city directory, she is Irene E Dawson, the widow of Lyle T, living at 821 Hershey Ave. Cora had Irene’s address as 821 E. Hershey Avenue, Monterey Park, California. This is confirmed by the city directory for Monterey Park in 1963. (Although dated 1963, it was probably prepared in 1962.) In that directory, Irene is indicated as a “SEC PS” which may be that she was a secretary at a public school. In the 1954 voter registration list, Irene E. is at 821 Hershey and she is registered as a Democrat. That is the Monterey Park address that Cora had for Irene in her 1953 travel diary. In a July, 1957, postcard to Cora, Irene and her older son have driven to Superior, Wisconsin, to see “the attorney and real estate men. Real good luck! Mrs. Orthman not home yet.” Presumably, this had to do with assets in Superior that were once owned by Irene’s father’s stepmother, Carrie Fogelquist, and that Irene had inherited from Irene’s recently-deceased mother.
