Try as I might to get all the evidence I can for my blog,
sometimes I uncover new treasures that change earlier writings. Happily, it’s usually for
the best.
Yesterday, I was thrilled to find a photo of the grave
marker for Daisy’s and Will’s first daughter, Mary Edna, who was born and died
in Nebraska in 1915. My early evidence suggested that she was buried at
Winside, but I found that she was buried at Wayne and her grave is marked with
a sweetly carved stone that includes birth and death dates. She was not quite 10
months old. What a sad day for her family when their darling daughter died.
With permission from the photographer, Brad Kellogg, I’ve added a photo of the
tombstone to the earlier blog, which you can see at this link.
Of course, I had to share it here, too. It’s beautiful.

Searching for sources in Nebraska, I first found the photo
of Mary Edna’s gravestone on a web site that’s new to me:
nebraskagravestones.org. Started in 2003, it’s part of The Gravestone Photo
Project (GPP) that includes most states. Brad Kellogg manages the South Dakota project and also contributes to the Nebraska project. Brad added
the photo to Find A Grave, as well.1
Thanks, Brad!
