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:
- Donald Jacob Ream (1900-1963)
- Thelma Beatrice (Ream) Fisher (1903-1983)
- Paul Merlin Ream (1905-1989)
- Velven Ream (1907-1942)
She died in 1909[5] and is buried in the Ottumwa Cemetery, Wapello, Iowa.[6]
