The following was written by Alma Rafert Welp (Memories - 1983):
Edna was five years older than I. Our father's death seemed to make her a more moody and nervous person. Many nights she cried herself to sleep. She began working at a grocery at age 12 and at age 14 she worked for a milliner. On Saturdays she worked at uncle Doc's grocery store. Later she took a business course and worked as a stenographer for a shoe company. She married Gus Westerhoff when in her 50s. This marriage proved to be a very unhappy one. (Edna) had a great love for all her nieces and nephews. She visited us every year at Campbell Hill. She enjoyed travel all of her life."
