But I can tell you that Edna Davenport was a very good friend of my grandmother, Metalill Westervelt, who did indeed grow up in Spencer, NY. According to my grandmother's wedding write up in the local paper at the time (The Spencer Needle) Edna played the piano at my grandparent's wedding in 1909. I also have a postcard type picture of Edna that she must have given to my grandmother at some point. I do seem to remember from old Spencer Needles that your Edna Davenport married a guy by the last name of Tyler----I think his first name was Leslie, but I'm not sure. My grandparents married in 1909, and I think Edna and her Tyler husband married within a year or two of that. Once last year, when I was visiting the cemetery, I also stumbled across (not literally) Edna's grave in the Evergreen Cem. in Spencer. Seems to me she didn't live all that long if I recall the stone correctly---I took notice of it bec! ause I knew she and my grandma had been good friends in their youth. I believe Edna died in her 30s, but I can always check the stone for you to be certain. You can e-mail me privately if you want at rarnold261@aol.com
