Good finds, RJ & Sandra!

On www.fultonhistory.com, if you do a search for "Minnie Slipper" (in quotation marks), there are some articles from the Chicago Tribune from 1906 about Minnie being sued by a collection agency for a small bill.  One of the articles references her son Fred Slipper being summonsed. 

In re-reading one of those articles from 5 Apr. 1906, it says, "Mrs. Slipper has a friend in George W. Vaux, assistant passenger agent of the Grand Trunk railroad, and he ascertained what the costs were going to be in the end..."

This looks like the obituary for George Vaux's first wife, who was survived by 3 children - http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1906/05/17/page/5/article/obituary-1-no-title

This looks like them in 1900 with Geo. W. mistranscribed as Geoff - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MSQ8-TRT  The son George Herbert would fit with the Herbert Vaux found above.

This appears to be George Vaux's daughter Alma in 1920 with an aunt Mabel Vaux - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MJQG-VHJ

And 1940 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KW43-MTH

A cemetery database says that Alma's ashes were buried in 1976, but I can't find an exact date of death for her.
