H., John H., Elsie Uretta, Alma Anna and Francis Helen "Fanny". She was the second youngest of the six children. She died at the age of 93 on September 15th, 1988 in Winamac, Pulaski County, Indiana.General Notes
Virginia Zellers Fiscus said, "Aunt Edna was the fun aunt. She was a school teacher until she married, because in those days women didn't work when they married. She was always kind, cheerful, and funny when the cousins went to her house." Tragically, her two sons were both killed in car accidents in the 1940's.
