MONDAY MADNESS--Edna May Frederick Zeigler Gween

As you may have read on several of my other blogs, this Frederick clan is driving me mad. I have done three of these on my grandmother’s siblings! AND, I am not going back into history all that far, just the early to mid 1900’s.

Edna with my mother

Edna May Frederick

Parents: Alfred Frederick and Lucinda B. Orr Frederick¹
Birth: August 24, 1876, Columbiana County, Ohio²
Death: January 25, 1961, probably in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania³
Buried: William Penn Memorial Cemetery, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania⁴

Married:
Harry G. Zeigler, born March 1873 in Pennsylvania⁵
On the 1900 Pennsylvania Federal Census, Harry was a shoe clerk in Pittsburgh and he and Edna were living at 5018 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Harry and Edna had one child, a daughter, Mary A. Zeigler⁶, born 1903 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Edna is enumerated with Harry’s parents on the 1910 Pennsylvania Federal Census report⁷ and she lists herself as single. Perhaps he died between 1900-1910.

Second Marriage:
Before 1918, Edna married William Clinton Gween, born April 16, 1876 in Pennsylvania⁸. He was employed by Westinghouse and he and Edna lived at 838 Sheridan Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I lose track of Edna and William in 1930.

Mary A. Zeigler, Edna’s daughter, married Robert B. Quinn, on November 4, 1925 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania⁹. Robert is the son of Thomas B. Quinn and Mary B. Wells Quinn¹⁰. He was born on July 7, 1898 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and died September 1971 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania¹¹.

My mother has told me that later in life, Edna lived with Mary and Robert Quinn. I would take an educated guess that they are all buried at William Penn Cemetery.

Mary and Robert did not have any children, so perhaps there is a Quinn or Gween researcher out there that might have this branch in their family tree, too.
