Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- CONTENTdm full-text search located "Ponceby" in the 1940 Cleveland City Directory. The page-level OCR reads "Ponceby Donald D (Jane N) h1890 E 97th apt 2."
- Visual review confirms the Ponceby entry and Jane N. household notation; the middle initial may be a directory or OCR/visual ambiguity because the 1942 directory records Donald E. Ponceby.
- The repository filename includes "page-916" from an initial page estimate; the actual CONTENTdm compound page is 905 and the printed directory page is 897.

Notes
Archive notes
- Treat this as a residence and spouse-clue source, not final proof of a marriage.
- This extends the Jane N. clue back from the 1942 Cleveland directory to the 1940 Cleveland directory.
