Biography

Edith was previously thought to have been born in the US in the early 1880's[1] although there are indications that she was actually born in England.[2][3]

In 1899 she married John Edward Ream (1875-1915).[4]

She is known to have had at least four children:

  1. Donald Jacob Ream (1900-1963)
  2. Thelma Beatrice (Ream) Fisher (1903-1983)
  3. Paul Merlin Ream (1905-1989)
  4. Velven Ream (1907-1942)

She died in 1909[5] and is buried in the Ottumwa Cemetery, Wapello, Iowa.[6]
