Individual Details

1930. Edith was living with son Clarence. She was widowed.

In the 1910 Census, Edith is shown as having had 12 children, 10 of them living. 1900 she states 11 children, 10 living - perhaps counted the twins as a single birth.

Family for Edith in Illinois. 1850 Schuyler Co ILBuena Vista Twp: Ira & Eliza Irwin both age 18 & both born in Ohio; he was a Cooper. On the next page is Robert Irvin age 59, farmer born in VA; Lavina age 54 b. KY; Harvey age 17 b. Ohio; Harrison age 14 b. Ohio; Amanda age 12 b. Ohio, Eleazar D. age 30 b. Ohio. Harvey & Eleazar both listed as Coopers.

1860 Schuyler Co Census: Ira age 29 born KY, Eliza age 27 b. OH with Wm H. age 9, Edith age 4, Robert L. age 2.

Died at age 78 of pneumonia. Informant for her Death Certificate was Margret Friddle, youngest daughter. Burial at Chester on 25 Aug 1932. Birthplace given as Illinois, but no date given - her age was said to be 78. Father Ira Irwin born Illinois. Mother Liza Ann Avery, born Illinois. [Parents did live in Illinois, but both were born in Ohio.]

Her grave marker, Chester Cemetery, seems to have errors. Her name is listed as:
Edith Jane (Iriwin) Harrison
Her birth is given as Dec 18, 1858. In 1880, she was age 24, or born 1855-56. In 1900, she claimed to have been born, September of 1855, she was then 44 years old. In 1910, she gave her age as 55, or born in later 1854 or 1855. In 1920, she have her age as 64. These ages are all consistent with a birth year of 1855, not 1858.
She died 24 Aug 1932. Her stone says she was 72 years at death - her death certificate stated she was 78. I would suspect her age when she was younger to be more accurate.
Her grave was not noted in the Crawford Co cemetery book, no grave is noted for her husband Elisha in the book nor on FindAGrave, which had the photo of her grave marker. I suspect her stone was placed some later; his grave perhaps never marked at all.
