Notes

Nora was the daughter of John Coleman Horrell and Lucinda Angeline Steen, born 18 November 1878. She was the first of nine children born to the Horrells.

There is some contention as to the spelling of the surname "Horrell" since some families spell it as "Horrall". However, after examining the grave stone of Nora's parents at Ebenezer Cemetery, Washington Indiana, it is clear that her parents spelled Horrell with an "e" and not and with an "a" as is believed by some.
Although the various census reports show Nora's duties as house keeping, she was awarded a patent, number 730717, for a Holder for Picture Frames.
This invention, patented 9 June 1903 and filed for on 7 February 1903, was designed to provide a suitable substitute for the then present mode of hanging pictures ̶ namely, by cord or wire ̶ utilizing a rigid holder of bracket form… which is a more efficient means of supporting the picture, as well as being an ornament itself.
It is interesting to note that Nora held the first patent in the family between her and her husband. It is also interesting to note that this was her only patent on record. It is likely that her husband James was instrumental in developing her idea and seeing it through to the patent phase.
