EDWARDS, Martha E.

  General Notes:

I believe that her half brother living with the family was the father of this child, but this cannot be substantiated at this late date. Martha evidently invited scorn and shame upon the family as a result of this birth out of wedlock. This solitude and shame may have contributed to her early demise from a seemly minor ailment.

  Medical Notes:

Perhaps related to child birth and a lingering illiness.

  Noted events in her life were:

• Fact 2: Mother.

• Fact 2: Interred Piggott Cemetery.
