The only place I have been able to find a reference to the fact that Jessie married Ernest P Irick, is a listing for Jessie's brother Fayette Marion McIntosh on Find a Grave: "Sisters: Jessie Leola (McIntosh) Irick 1875-1953"
In the 1900 Census Ernest's wife, Jessie's birthday is listed as November, 1875, the same month and day of Jessie McIntosh.

"While dining at Cracker Barrel restaurant in Tampa, FL yesterday, our table was next to a framed diploma of Hugh Kirkland Navin from Indiana Univiersity School of Medicine dated June 11, 1934. Some family member would probably love to have it. I don't know Cracker Barrel's policy about selling their display items. Perhaps they would even consider giving it to a family member for its PR value."
