Hi Kathy, No, I never talked to Edna but Lynn did. Lynn went to visit her many times and she wrote to her often. Lynn spoke fondly of her and I think she called her, Aunt Edna. Lynn often talked about how she was so alert and sharp and at her age, Lynn was very impressed. I am sorry that I didn't get in touch with her because it was a reward that I missed out on. I am glad that you are carrying on her research. I hope someday, that someone will carry on ours. It is far from being complete and a friend, just the other day, made the comment that Genealogy never ends. That is probably true. I sometimes, fail to thank you for the names and dates you send me and I apologize but I want you to know that I thank you for all of it and you are a real pleasure to know. It is even more gratifying to know that you have taken on the job of adding to the research of someone else. Many, Many years ago, while doing research on the Springfield, Ill. line of the family, someone wrote that a lady did a lot of research on her husband line of the family and after she died, a magazine tried to buy the work but it had all been burned after her death. Our work can't be destroyed completely. We have all tried to make sure of that. If I can add anything to your research, you only need to ask. Martha
