Joyce, Thank you for your response on Joe B. Chandler of Spokane. My father stated on his S.S. application that his father's name was John J. Chandler. This might be a link if I can find out anything on Mary Ireland. I would guess that this couple would have been about 50 years old in 1899 when my father was born in Spokane.
