Questions:
* Is Ida M. Day's middle name Martha and she goes by Mattie to prevent confusion with his daughter?
* Who is Mattie Pagan in 1860 and 1870 census?
* Who is the Henry Pagin who married Ida M. Day in 1885?
* Is this an old directory and Mattie's name has not been removed?

Note: in 1900 Census, Ida (Pagin) Suthards (married Own Suthards in 1892) was living in home of Leila Carter Blake. (Kansas City, MO)
* Was Ida M. Day Pagin dead or living in separate household?
