Hi Paul; I didn't find anything that pointed to a kinship between Elizabeth and Joseph. Elizabeth's parents were John (who was gone by 1920), and Mary who from at least 1920-1937, lived at 4614 Winchester Ave, near the stockyards. As of 1930, Edwin was living there also. In 1937, Jacob Kossuth--Elizabeth's brother Jack/Jock--owned a tavern next door, at 4612 Winchester Ave. At the very least they likely knew Joseph as they were all affiliated with St. Michaels. Hopefully, the following data will help you in your search.
