  Everleigh Sisters remembered at Little Bar
With that, Minna and her older sister, Ada, opened what would become the best little bordello in Chicago and, for a time, one of the best known in the world.
Minna and Ada Everleigh, then 21 and 23, took their name from their grandmother's habit of signing her letters "Everly Yours." Raised in a prosperous Southern family, the sisters fled bad marriages to become touring actresses and ended up in Chicago after running a bagnio in Omaha during the Trans-Mississippi Exposition.
Chicago's famed Everleigh Club, at 2131 S. Dearborn St., employed a Cordon Bleu chef for its parties and anywhere from 15 to 25 cooks in its 24-hour kitchen.

 Everleigh Club in Memoriam by Sean Parnell
The Everleigh sisters, were born the decade after the Civil war (the 1870's for you less-than-history buffs) near Louisville Kentucky.
They were born with the surname "Lester," but took the name "Everleigh" from their grandmother's habit of signing her letters "Everly Yours." Once both of their marriages dissolved, the sisters invested $35,000 of estate inheritance into a classy brothel in Omaha, Nebraska.
The modern-day Everleigh Club closed in the late 1990's and prompted former owner Chris Schuba to join his brother Mike in the management and ownership of Schuba's Tavern.

Following an investigation in 1911, the Civil Service Commission revealed police raids were made only under the instruction of Tennes or his top lieutenant (Mike de Pike) Heitler, and then only against those who competed against the Tennes, Colosimo syndicate.
Chicago became so wide-open and over run by corruption and sleaze that the Lester sisters, thinking they were untouchable, made the mistake of circulating a brochure advertising the accommodations of the Everleigh Club and its girls.

Q At an estate sale, I bought a beautiful vase decorated with colorful butterflies that had an attached tag saying it came out of the Everleigh Club, which was a turn-of-the-century Chicago bordello run by the Everleigh sisters.
Therefore, your vase (in order to have added value) would have to be positively identified and documented as actually having been part of the bordello's lavish and luxurious furnishings.
Without proof-positive documentation, there would be no way to tell whether your diamond butterfly pin belonged to Minna Everleigh unless you wake her from beyond by holding a seance.

Joan Lee Anderson, Springfield, IL A: Although the notorious and naughty madams, Ada and Minna Everleigh (who opened their exquisite and expensively-furnished bordello on Feb. 1,1900 in an impressive three-story, fifty room brown-stone which stood at 2131-33 South Dearborn in Chicago) loved butterflies and no doubt had many expensive items decorated with the butterfly motif.
The same holds true for any butterfly pins that (being a popular craze in the early 1900’s) and that Minna adored and wore studded with diamonds, in all sizes on the front of her gown, beginning with a small brooch at her neck to a seven-inch clasp at her waist.
Without proof-positive documentation, there would be no way to tell whether or not your diamond butterfly pin belonged to Minna Everleigh unless you wake her from beyond by holding a seance, or by contacting her spirit on a Ouija board.
