She may have had a sister, Rosa. I don't have my file open to look.
Edith was first married to Arthur Jayne.

(Arthur was also to married Katie Patzke.) JAYNE, ARTHUR A PATZKE, KATIE F 1900-04-18 307389 COOK

Edith then married Merritt S. Clark: CLARK, MERRITT S. JAYNE, EDITH M 1900-05-31 309492 COOK

I think the children seen in their household in censuses were those of Edith's previous marriage to Arthur Jayne; Lila M., Viola P., Ethel M. & Alice.

Daughter, Lila probably married someone named Arps. (She was a friend of my grandmother.)

Daughter, Viola married Peter Maln. She may have married twice, Peter being the 2nd husband.

Lydia is probably the only child of Merritt. I'm not sure of this.
Lydia C. Clark married William Steinsdorfer.

I do not see Merritt Sylvester Clark listed in the cemetery index. He died Nov 26 1961. He should be in this cemetery as he was the son of James and Celestia (Pratt) Clark. Celestia was my 2nd great aunt.
