Hi List, My last contact with Vivian Edelen was a Christmas card, still written in that impeccable handwriting! She is quite the lady as several of you have affirmed and I hope she is as spry as ever. One of her daughters, whom I have not met is also quite interested in family history, so that is probably another rich source of history about the Edelen family. Vivian used to be a docent at the Mudd museum and is a treasure trove of Charles County history. Cheers, Pete >I have been very interested in the messages/comments concerning the >Sunnyside Farm and the Edelen family. When I grew up in Waldorf, Charles >County, my mother always told me there were two separate Edelen family lines >although they may have been distantly related in the very early years. The >Edelen family who lived in Bryantown area were mainly Bowlings, Boarmans, >and Edelens, for example. Dr Edward Edelen whose widow still lives in Port >Tobacco was a friend of mine as he was on the board of directors of the >savings and loan assn where I worked when my children were small. He also >sewed up one of my son's heads with about 30 stitches after he fell down >some steps - The other Edelen family lived in the Prince George's county >area, Clinton, Piscataway, and the Berry Road area where David Middleton >Edelen's family lived. These are the Middleton relatives - not the Edelens >of Bryantown area - I visited these Edelen members often when I visited my >sister who lived in Piscataway. I am now 82 years young and memories do fade >but if there are others who have more definite information I will be very >happy to be updated with new information.
