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.
