There are a couple of things that intrigue me about this information:
1. I was not able to locate any census information about a Furlong family in Cleveland, 1843-1873 (There are, however, Furlongs in the 1880 directory)

2. Did not locate an obituary for Julie Corlett.

3. I was surprised to see a woman physician. I wonder where/if she studied.
