I have no idea whether Frank Stevens ever was able to bring Norma, his fiancée, home with him during his most recent visit to Chicago as he had mentioned to his mother. However, barely a month after his last letter home, it was no surprise for Agnes Tully Stevens to receive a special invitation from a certain John A. Flowers family of New Lexington, Ohio.
