Of these, two lost their lives - Veva Jackson and May Marx. Others of the party were May Ackerman, who was injured; Aby Raymer, daughter of Alderman Raymer; Florence Nicholson and Edna Hovland. Miss Hunter is the daughter of Samuel S. Hunter, a woolen merchant at 175 Dearborn street". (The Inter Ocean)
