Ivy Kellerman Reed
One thing leads to another...
Last week I scanned and posted the current issue (minus 100 years) of Amerika Esperantisto. Today I was pondering whether I felt like starting on next month's issue this evening, and I ended up leafing through some of the older issues, and I came across a reference to "Dr. Kellerman of Columbus [Ohio]" in the November 1908 issue. And I wondered, could that be Ivy Kellerman of A Complete Grammar of Esperanto?
While websearching I bumped into several pages related to Kellerman and Amerika Esperantisto. One of which, American Esperantist at the English Wikipedia, was tagged this month as a possible candidate for deletion or removal. Not too big a deal maybe, I suppose it could be merged into the EANA page, which was merged into the Esperanto-USA page. But it does have a parallel page in the Esperanto Vikipedio, so I think its survival would be a good thing.
In the November 1908 issue I also found mention of "Mr. E. C. Reed, chief examiner of the Esperanto Association of North America, and head of the American School of Esperanto". According to Usono:Esperanto-movado, Edwin C. Reed was the first secretary of EANA.
I'm guessing that he is the Edwin C. Reed who married Ivy Kellerman.
Anyway... please give these pages some help if you can, especially the first...

And suddenly it's after midnight, I did some more research and edited Wikipedia and Vikipedio a bit, and learned some more, and wrote this post, but still...
Does anybody here know whether Ivy Kellerman lived in Ohio for a time?
