Chicago June 14 1861 - Hon R. Yates - Sir - I take the liberty of transmitting to you a statement of facts which need legal investigations by competent authority. If ever there was an aggravating injury to an innocent female, that case is my own - And it can be proved, clearly, and conclusively. I entreat you to place this statement in the hand of the State's Attorney with full instructions for him to investigate the charges as soon as pofsible. You <hr /> will doubtlefs enquire why I do not have my Brother, William C. Gondy, attend to this businefs for me. When I fled from Taylorville I came to my Brother with my complaint, but he at once interdicted my making it public - therefore, is this long delay in prefering my complaint to the States Attorney. Indeed, this is mine only resort for obtaining justice: i confidently rely on my family friends to sustain me, when once a legal in vestigation is commenced. In justice to William C. Gondy, also, [illegible] Gondy, and my Son Edgar Chapman, I must say, I did not inform them that I had been ill treated <hr /> to the extent I was - I did not state the whole truth to them. My state of health has not allowed me to take any very decided steps in this matter until this present time - though if my Brother William had undertaken the businefs for me, it would have been investigated sooner. I am at my Brother's ([30?] Pine St. Chicago) and if there is further communication necefsary at this time, before commencing legal investigation, can not the State's attorney for this Northern District, be employed to communicate with myself on the subject.

Title A name given to the resource Jannotta Family Collection Subject The topic of the resource Janotta, Stella Skiff, 1867-1954 Janotta, Alfredo A. (Alfredo Antonio), 1843-1913 Janotta, A. Vernon, 1894-1972 Description An account of the resource The Janotta Family Collection contains photographs relating to conductor/composer Alfredo Jannotta, his wife, activist and author Stella Skiff Jannotta, and their family. Several photographs belonged to their son, Navy Rear Admiral A. Vernon Jannotta. Alfredo Jannotta immigrated from Italy by way of London to Boston in 1865 where he taught voice at the New England Conservatory of Music. He married his first wife, Alice Prudy and they had a son, Edward, before Alfredo moved to Cincinnati in 1868. Alfredo spent 12 years in Cincinnati teaching vocal performance as well as conducting the Cincinnati Choral Society and organizing the first Cincinnati orchestra. He moved back to Boston in 1881 but moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1882 and finally to Chicago in 1888 where he established himself as a vocal teacher. While teaching in Chicago, Jannotta taught vocal lessons to Stella Skiff whom he married in 1893. Skiff was the daughter of Iowa businessman Vernon William Skiff and his wife, Mary Frances Coffin. Her brother, Frank Vernon Skiff founded the Jewel Tea Company which later grew into a national grocery store chain including Jewel, Osco, Eisner, and White Hen. Skiff continued her singing career after marrying Jannotta and briefly taught lessons. Between 1894 and 1898, she gave birth to sons A. Vernon, Francis, and Joseph. Between 1917 and 1918, Stella adopted three foster daughters, Margaret, Marion, and Betty (Elizabeth). In the early 20th century she began taking an active interest in causes including the suffrage movement and socialism. Stella Jannotta joined the Chicago Political Equality League (predecessor to the Chicago League of Women Voters) in 1907. She wrote for the propaganda arm of the organization, including a 1916 article entitled "Public Opinion" which she revisted several times over the following decades. A. Vernon Jannotta, the oldest son on Alfredo and Stella, served in the United States Navy in both World War I and World War II. He rose through the ranks of the Navy and the Naval Reserves, eventually retiring as a Rear Admiral in 1954. Jannotta received several military honors including the Navy Cross, Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and a Purple Heart.  Jannotta began working at the Jewel Tea Company in 1919 and held several positions at the company for the next 50 years. He also held several executive positions or held stakes in several companies including Lehman Brothers, Motor Institute of America, Tapp, Inc. and Consolidated Trading Corporation.
