- ↑ The Thierry-Miegs were a family of Alsace textile manufacturers. Among the various branches, several had remained in Mulhouse, the birthplace of the family, contributing to the setting up of family businesses. Among those who had set up in Paris or close by and for whom Eugénie Lémel had worked, was one Charles Thierry-Mieg (1833-1901) and his wife née Jenny Louise Emma Paccard (1842-1923) (see on the page "Notices biographiques des correspondants" in the Corr-Proust website the note about this family); or another member, Jean-Jacques Thierry-Mieg (1820-1904), doctor, and his wife née Amélie Koechlin (1825-1903). - A letter from Jeanne Proust to Marcel from 1890 (CP 00031; Kolb, I, no. 31) indicates that Eugénie Lémel had gone to have her teeth taken care of at Mme Thierry-Mieg's dentist. So it appears that she had worked for this family before being employed by the Prousts, therefore before 1890. [PK, PW, FL]
