In 1920 the same four were together. Spelling on the census form was poor so she appears as Eidith Dohoff.[5]
By 1930 son Hugh has moved out. Daughter Edith, now Edith Luddington, has married, divorced, and produced daughter Patricia A (3 4/12, Pennsylvania). Patricia's father was from Arizona.[6]
John Edmund died in 1935. Edith Jr. has remarried twice, first to Crawford and then to Samuel Williams.[7]
