A hint from Caroline Vajen Brown Robbins: You probably know that they are the John Kittle furniture people in Indy. The Kittle tombstone is right up there in Crown Hill with James Whitcomb Riley on the hill; CLARIFICATION of the hint is: Emily Mills (Kittle) Morrison states: "ALSO - we are not related to the furniture people in Indianapolis. The John Kittle b 1883 - married to Alma Jordan worked for her father (Whose Who in Indianapolis - Arthur Jordan) at the Western Cold Storage & Ice Co - but later worked more with Columbia Investment and had a partnership in the Chrysler Dealership ... just for some more clarifications "

John Sloane was an investor - active with the Columbia Investment Club (of which I think he was a founder). He met my grandmother through his boss at the Western Cold Storage & Ice Company, my great grandfather Arthur Jordan - who endowed the administration building (named after him in granite) at Butler University
