Some Interesting Names Which I found in "Who's Who in America 1904"

Aubertine - the woman's middle name, but the name she went by (she also used the pen name Auber). Really rather remarkable. Annie Aubertine Woodward Moore.

Ehrman

Gouverneur - this man was a jr, as his father was also named Gouverneur
