She went by Edna - even being listed as such in the 1910 Census. She married Howard Morseburg and had three children.
We were able to find a copy of her obituary - I do not know which newspaper this is from. Note that, all together, it lists 10 brothers and sisters. Her sister that was killed in the trolley accident as a child was not listed. There is one other sister that I have listed in my blog that is not here. I need to research further to determine if I have an error or if there was another untimely death.
