Middle name
editI saw Jessie uncited so added a link to this April 2014 blog: http://www.elmwoodcemetery.org/blog/love-and-death-at-the-rivers-edge-the-story-of-alice-mitchell-and-frederica-ward/
But then I wondered and went back and checked, this info was added here May 2013 so I can't be entirely sure if Richard Alley took this info from Wikipedia on good faith or if he confirmed it independently.
Does anyone know any pre-2013 references to support this being her middle name? Going to look now.
NM found [http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=15533150&PIpi=3903538 this site which shows her gravestone. Ranze (talk) 13:26, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Not moved. No consensus seen here, and we don't usually use middle names for dab unless they're commonly used in sources. — Amakuru (talk) 20:54, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Alice Mitchell → Alice Jessie Mitchell – seeing as how her gravestone confirms the middle name, I would like to propose moving it to her full name. Alice Mitchell is also the name of the mother of the protagonist of Dennis the Menace (U.S. comics) and also could refer to Alice Mitchell Rivlin and it would be useful to disambiguate between them.

- Oppose - Added hatnote. Also, the current name is commonly used by multiple sources, like this book and that book. George Ho (talk) 07:22, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
