I remember Dad talking often about the time his little brother got sick and died so quickly, like over-night. Perhaps this was why Dad was so accutely aware of his and our health and played the part of "Dr. Valentine."
Just got word from Bev D. that Edsel was not buried in the Ellet cemetery, but instead Hillside Memorial. Also, according to the death certificate, he was born on Dec 29, not the 28th, and died Nov 25, not the 24th.
June 2015 - I was back in Ohio after us kids bought a headstone for Edsel and visited Hillside Memorial Park and found it. However, I don't think it's where it should be. According to the cemetery records, it should be up near the road, not down by the trees.
