Note: The spelling of some names is inconsistent. In one case, Whitman is
spelled Whiteman, Stegg is Stagg, Bronche is sometimes Branche or Brancheau,
O'Neill is sometimes O'Neil. Also, Maggie Standing is listed as born in both
England and Kansas and as being appointed in both Kansas and Idaho. Based on
other sources of information, I assume that her correct birthplace is England
and that she was originally appointed in Kansas.
