• Notes

  Although it states that Edward is a widow at his death, he is not. His wife does not pass away until 1976. I think that maybe when asked the question they asked her her marital status or that is how she understood it and stated she was Edward's widow. Edward is listed as Edwin in the 1900 Census and is listed as being born January 1879.
