Note: this Tellier family chart is only as extensive as the point of semi-relevance, and many more connections are available on Geneanet, my primary source. Andre, after all, only has a circumstantial connection to Lucie and Rene le Tellier.
Norma Keating Mattlin
Nov 31, 1901—Aug 03, 1980
Norma Keating Mattlin was a poet, columnist, and children's book writer. Tellier selected her as his home contact in his WWII draft card, and it was very likely her influence which connected him to Harriet Bross Nemeth for an interview on WJLK.
She was born Norma Romola Connolly in the Bronx to John Edward Connolly Jr (1872–1956) and Charlotte "Lottie" Alice Connolly, née Norman. She had two sisters: Hazel Norman Marie Connolly (1894-1947) and Esther Odlum Suzanne Connolly (1905-1997, also known by the surnames Hewitt and Cullen).
After her engagement at the age of 15 (G&D), she married Melville Bell Taylor Keating (1896-1956) on November 1, 1922. After their amenable divorce, she retained the surname as her writing pseudonym. On May 7, 1936, she married Nathan Matthew Mattlin and went by Norma Keating Mattlin afterwards (NYC Marriage Records).
She lived in Greenwich Village and the Washington Square area until 1941 (G&D), when she and Nathan moved to Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey. They lived together at Old Mill Road from around 1946-1958 and 297 Fairfield Road, Freehold Township from around 1966-1973. Several papers give conflicting reports about them living in Howell Township in 1961 and 1978. Norma's obituary says that she still lived on Fairfield.
Colonel Henry Shoemaker, state archivist of the State Library and Museum, Harrisburg, PA, lauded her poetry in The Altoona Tribune on June 10, 1937. He would later appoint her as Poet Laureate of The Folklore and Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the Poetry Society of Pennsylvania (Raven Pamphlet).
On June 21, 1946, Keating signed copies of Giants and Dwarfs at the Book Nook in Asbury Park on Cookman Avenue. At that time, she lived on Old Mill Road in Spring Lake Heights (Spring Lake Gazette, 1946).
She was a member of the the Raven Anthology, a Bohemian poetry organization founded in Greenwich by Frances Lambert McCrudden in December 1932. He remained editor and publisher of their annual publication until Amedeo Count D'Aureli succeeded him with new quarterly issue for January 1952. Dr. Amadeo appointed Keating contributing editor and published "Dark Doves" in commemoration of her work and the magazine's reorganization (APP, Jan 18, 1952). They honored her on May 2, 1953 (APP, May 8, 1953).
Pennsylvania State Poetry Prize (1954)
She was also a member of United Poets Laureate International (APP, Dec 29, 1968), the Pennsylvania Poetry Society (Freehold Transcript, Mar 22, 1962), and the Poetry Society of America, NYC since 1930 where she served twice as a judge (Who's Who 1974 & APP, Oct 05, 1975).
In 1962 she was awarded an honorary diploma in literature from the University of Palermo, Italy (Freehold Transcript, Mar 22, 1962). The same article states that she was working on two unpublished books: Light in the Forest, a volume of poetry, and an unnamed historical novel.
President Marcos of the Philippines and Dr Yuzon, President of the United Poets Laureate presented her with a Yuzon Poetry Medal in August 1967 (APP, Aug 27, 1967). In 1975 the United Poets Laureate International named her Woman on the Year" (APP, Oct 05, 1975). Another unpublished book is announced here: a complete collection of her poetry.

Bibliography
Nathan Matthew Mattlin
Feb 03, 1904—May 29, 1988
Nathan "Nat" Matthew Mattlin was a jazz pianist and song writer. Tellier wrote the lyrics to a number of Mattlin's songs, and it was Mattlin's wife, Norma, who Tellier selected her as his home contact on his WWII draft card.
He was born in Manhattan to Max Mattlin (1868–1932) and Pauline Sanderson (1870-?), a pair of Russian immigrants who arrived in the US in 1890. He was the youngest of six children: Fay Mattlin (1891-?), Morris Mattlin (1895-?), Blance Mattlin (1897-?), Rebecca Mattlin (1897-?), Samuel Mattlin (1900-?).
He sailed April 21-30, 1928 on the S. S. Lancastria from Le Havre to New York City. He immediately sailed again from April 30-May 2, 1928 to ???.
From August 4-30, 1930 he sailed on the S. S. Paris from Le Havre back to New York City. Passport number 293890.
September 3-9, 1931 on the S. S. Ile de France from Le Havre to New York City. Wrong bday: Jul 2, 1904.
Lived at 428 E 157th Street, Bronx, NY. (1928)
Lived at 1170 Shermen Avenue, Bronx, NY. (1930-1931)
Lived at Old Mill road, Spring Lake Heights (1948)
Lived in Greenwich as an orchestra leader and composer in 1933, where he set the Aesthetic Realist founder Eli Siegel's poem "What Can a Weak Man Do" to music (The Latin Quarterly 1933; Greenwich Village Weekly News).
On May 7, 1936, he married Norma Keating Mattlin (NYC Marriage Records).
By 1943 he began his long tour of bars around Shore Lakes, New Jersey including the Empire Bar and Grill alongside Dottie Williams (APP, Jun 18, 1943), Lou's Cottage Inn with Peggy Ryan and his trio: Bill Brady, Arnold Tversky, and Dave Light (APP, Jul 6, 1946), the Beau-Rivage (APP, May 2, 1948), Paul's Edgewaters (APP, Oct 15, 1948), the Ship Wheel Inn (APP, Dec 4, 1953), as well as the Circus Bar in Florida (Palm Beach Post, Dec 4 1948). Lou's Cottage Inn was his most frequent employer until he and Edna Rae Pentaleri, a kindergarten teacher, purchased the Trade Winds Bar and Grill at 707 Bangs Avenue in May 1959 (APP, May 10, 1959). They revamped it into the Blue Note jazz bar, which remained open for at least another fourteen years—barring a brief closure in April 1966 when they were prosecuted for operating it as a gay hangout and bar (APP, Oct 7, 1973, pg 92 & pg 94).
He participated in radio programs such as his 13-week series for WCAP (Radio Daily, 1947 vol. 41), the Community House Theatre where his symphony cantata, "The Congo" with lyrics by Vachel Lindsey was preformed alongside nine other original songs (Spring Lake Gazette, Jul 31, 1947; Aug 28, 1947), the Community Chest on WJLK (APP, Dec 19, 1949),
One-off gigs such as the Sterner Coal and Lumber Christmas Party (APP, Jan 13 1947), the Manasquan River group dinner (APP, Nov 7, 1947), and the 6th Annual WSCS Musical-Tea in Florida (Palm Beach Post, Mar 18, 1956).

After taking residence in the US on December 15th, 1905, he occasionally traveled to and from Liverpool on at least five trips. His application for US citizen ship was finally granted on April 25, 1918 following two petitions on January 23, 1913 and Jan 22 1918.
Lived at 161 Prospect St. Nutley NJ (1913)
Lived at 200 Montague St Brooklyn NY (1918)

Began a series of trips to Southampton after his wife's death to Bartley (1949), Tatsfield (1950), and Crowsport (1959).
Studied in England with Fred V. Burridge and Augustus John.
Member of the Liverpool Academy of Arts and the Salmagundi Club.
Instructor at the Westlake School of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Left in 1907 to New York (LA Times, Aug 11, 1907). Employed by the NYC Board of Education by 1942 (WWII Draft Card).
Influenced by and compared to William Morris (NYT, Jun 2, 1918) and Charles H. Shannon (Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Mar 14, 1920)
The Spring exhibition of the National Academy of Design by Arthur Hoeber featured Balmer's allegorical "The Vain Woman" (International Studio, May 1908). The same month Balmer opened an art school in the Newark Metropolitan Building (International Studio, May 1908).
His work was also exhibited by Andre Tellier as Rene de Lombre on October 31st, 1915 at Tellier's studio, and at the the Plymouth Institute to be lauded by Hamilton Easter Field (Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Mar 14, 1920).
The New Haven Paint and Clay Club featured Balmer as a member of the jury of award for their fifth art exhibition open November 22nd to December 10th 1922 (American Art News, Nov 4, 1922)
Amateur cellist (Chatham Press, Apr 19, 1924) and fan of Hans Kronold (The Journal, Jul 23, 1921)
It took seven/ten years for Balmer to complete the murals for Grace Episcopal Church.
On December 30th, 1925, an electrical fire burned down the church roof and destroyed almost everything. Two of the paintings were spared on a sheltering wall, but eight did not survive (Courier-Post, Dec 30, 1925). The church did not reopen until June 6, 1926, by which time Balmer concluded that it would take three years to duplicate his paintings (Passaic Daily News, Jun 3, 1926). Still, he completed half of the paintings by September 29th, 1927 (Passaic Daily Herald).
