Fran, Go to www.worldconnect.rootsweb.com for info on burial. There is enough info to get you cemetery data. Maybe you can find more which will help you locate obituary/estate records. Search more at same site for possible sources under her father's name. Father's name is less common than Edna. You will see notes that her husband Obed(iah) was also called Abel. Famiy migration and descendants could also help. If Edney is the correct first name, you may find that her family church had Samuel EDNEY as pastor. Many families have "adopted" the names of their circuit riding pastor. Francis ASBURY was another pastor whose name also became popular during this time. Most of entries do not give specific documentation so I have not included here. There are notes for LDS films. Sue (EDNEY researcher)
