MARY EDNA STEVENSON ("Edna") was born June 27, 1895, but as yet her
birthplace remains unknown. She married JOHN MADDING, with whom she
had three sons and six daughters. Not all of the names of Edna's children are
known to the author of this history. According to Edna's niece, Sue Van
Valkenburgh, Edna and John lived their entire married life in Oklahoma, at least
some of the time in the town of Cushing. Another of Edna's nieces, Shirley
Travis, writes:
According to her brother and sisters, Aunt Edna was very like her mother --
much more than any of the others. Even though Grandmother Shearry died
when I was only ten years old, I could remember her well enough to see the
facial resemblance.
Edna died on December 10, 1984, in Harrah, Oklahoma, and is buried at
Fairlawn Cemetery in Cushing. She was the eldest of her siblings and survived
them all.
