Before MAE WEST there was Katie West.
• • On 19 January 1889, in Greenpoint, Battling Jack West and Tillie Delker took their wedding vows before a local minister with Jack's sister Julia West acting as maid of honor.
• • Their first child Katie came along during August of 1891; unfortunately, the infant died. Perhaps because of this, Mr. and Mrs. West became even more attached to their second child — — Mary Jane. Named for her Irish grandmother, their second daughter was born in Brooklyn on 17 August 1893.
• • Katie West's brief life came to an end on 30 October 1891. She is in our thoughts.
