In the beginning of reading newspapers, Old Trunks was confused. It seems that one of the OTHER Rye families had a daughter named Nora too. There is information stating the OTHER Nora had a hotel in Rosewood.
The Nora we are talking about today is Nora, the fifth child of Henry T. and Julia O. Rye. Her sister, Ella, states that her sister had their father "wrapped around her little finger". Although there are stories about how poor the two of them were when they were first married, they appeared to find a vocation suitable to take care of their needs and others, as well.
