• John Gorman and Jane Rushton appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1900 in Niagara Falls, Niagara County, New York, at 715 Third Street. Other members of the household included Dorothy Edna Gorman.
• The following appeared on 9 February 1901 in the Daily Cataract Journal: After combating the ravages of an insidious disease for several months with a fortitude that was truly marvelous, John Gorman died at his home, 715 Third Street, at 10 o'clock this morning. The immediate cause of death was tuberculosis. Deceased was very well known in Niagara Falls and had a host of friends in the towns of Lewiston and Porter, who will learn with regret of his early demise.
       He was born in the village of Youngstown on May 10, 1870, and was consequently in his 31st year. As a youth he was generally beloved by his companions and all persons with whom he came in contact. He was educated in the public schools of Youngstown, and after leaving school was employed at various occupations until 1889, when he came to this city.
        For several years he worked for Fred E. Dean at the Linwood avenue market, and afterwards entered the employ of Louis F. Mayle of the Niagara Falls Brewing Company. On October 17, 1894, he was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Rushton of Niagara Falls, Ont., who is left to mourn her loss with a two years old daughter, Dorothy.
        Besides his wife and child, the deceased is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gorman of Youngstown; four brothers, Timothy, Michael, Thomas J., and Patrick, who reside in Youngstown; also three sisters, Mrs. Minnie Hennessey of Willett's Point, New York Harbor, Miss Bessie and Miss Katie at Youngstown.
        The remains will be taken to Youngstown on Monday for burial, and the funeral will be held at St. Bernard's Catholic church in that village at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning. Requiem high mass will be celebrated by Rev. Henry J. Dolan and the remains will be laid to rest in the family plot in St. Bernard's cemetery.

• Peter, Louise and Carolyn Wilson at 461 Fifth Street in Niagara Falls apparently were overlooked in the 1920 census due to an enumerating error. Dorothy Gorman is identified as "Niece" in the household of John Connor at 463 Fifth Street. and the family of Chester Wright is enumerated at 461. The Wilsons likely still were living at 461 on 1 January 1920, since Louise's mother Johanna Hayes died there on 14 March 1919.
