Kortlander, born 18 July 1887, died Grand Rapids May 1980, an extraordinarily wonderful person and piano teacher, perhaps a niece of Wiliam? She lived at 614 Cherry Street. I know she had a brother Max Kortlander, also a gifted musician, much involved in Tin Pan Alley in the early days, and inventor and maker of device that simulated a player piano, but this extending above the keyboard to strike the individual keys instead of working internally. Then there was a Joseph Kortlander born 16 Aug 1884 and died in Grand Rapids Sept 1967who was involved in real estate and insurance and lived in 1930 (phone book) at 341 Garfield., perhaps another brother. Then in the 1930 phone book of Grand Rapids there is also A. H. Kortlander residing 333 College Ave., no doubt related. I'd be interested in any further information on the Kortlanders of Grand Rapids. Thomas Roderick Bar Harbor, Maine
