Note adapted from Brooks/Rust: "Some collectors believe that the female voice portraying Aunt Nancy on early Uncle Josh Columbias is that of Ada Jones. However, the records are labeled as by 'Mr. and Mrs. Cal Stewart,' [...] and aural comparison with later versions in which Jones did play the role suggest a different actress." The female speaker here can't be Stewart's second wife, Rossini Vaugh (1895-1943), because she would have been only 10 years old when this record was recorded, and they only married in 1914.
