 Includes NotesNotes for Mayme Mauritzen:
1920 Census Cook County listing in hard file of Harry J. Mauritzen

She was living at that time with her half sister Jennie & Jennie's spouse John Jensen, W. 61st St., Chicago during her nurses training. She went on to become a nurse and returned to the family home on 4th St in Peru until she died. Worked at People's Hospital.
According to my mother, Helen Mauritzen Koehler, her niece, she was always fond of clipping articles or sayings that were meaningful and then reciting them. This was found in her records. "The Three P's & Success: Pluck, Push & Patience. These three make life a success or failure, and the greatest of these is patience. Life is no gamble, but one great game. So it is pluck you need and not luck. A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck."
Their sister Carrie died very young, while feeding her boys, Kenny & Arthur who were 4 & 7. The boys came to live at the family home with Aunt Margaret and Aunt Mayme who then raised them. Aunt Margaret tutored the boys who seemed to have difficulties reading. Apparently their father couldn't handle them on his own, or, as Carrie's brother Harry James Mauritzen (my grandfather) said, "He was just stupid."
