What Do You Know?

Grandma and Grandpa Libby with their granddaughters.

I was just looking at WWI Draft Registration Cards on-line. Don't know why I didn't catch it before, but Grandpa Libby's middle name was NOT Everett, as I had thought.

His card says (and is signed) Edward Ellison Libby, born 15 Oct 1874, and his wife's name is Agnes Everett Libby. They are living at 2415 E 32nd street in Minneapolis.

Also living at that address, and registering for the draft are Horace E (23) and James Lyman, (19), their sons.

I wonder how Grandma Libby got the middle name "Everett." It sounds like a man's name. It couldn't be her maiden name, as that was Wescott. And her father's name was Otis H (don't know what the H is for).
