I have ancestry for Leander Lafayette Gowdy (1830-1909, b. IL, d. OR), but nothing for Louisa Cutler, his wife. Can anyone help with her ancestry? Thanks in advance.

My name is Janet Dukic, during my historic preservation research of my parents home in Chicago, I found the names Meta Gowdy Lee and Teresa Fritz Martin. I am hoping to find any pictures of their residents on Wallace St. in Chicago, as well as any information on their landlord, C. H. Kellogg.

Their names were recovered from the Chicago History Museum Archives in the Chicago Address Book of the time.

Any information in regards to the home's interior, exterior and landlord will be of great use for my project.

Thanks
