Filipek (salesman at 528 S. 5th av) at this address; there is no listing for Katherine. Quincy appears to be a few blocks south of Madison. This means it was not on the south side but about 5 miles west of the 3001 S. Emerald location and about 3 miles north. It was about a mile east of Riverside. It is not clear why they moved there or if they knew someone, but perhaps it helped them to know the Riverside area.
