Biography

Edna used the middle name May in her records prior to 1940. She married Kenneth Zachary in 1928. They divorced before 1938.

Edna remarried to Wallace Davies Jones. At this time she was using the middle name Elinore and may have gone by this name. They were living in Long Beach California in his WWII registration. Wallace moved to Seattle Washington by 1950 but Edna is not with him in any further records. Records for Wallace indicate that he did not have children.

Edna had the last name French in her brother's obituary in 1964. Edna Elinore French died in 1974; she was born in Oregon in 1908 and lived in the area that her brother indicated in his obituary. I would need to verify this was the same woman.
