Eda F. Rutledge..Wife(???)..72..Iowa

NOTE - Eda Rutledge is sometimes mistakenly indexed as a "wife" because she was enumerated right after the husband and before the real wife, Sue Ella Woodard. Her relationship was entered on the census form as a "Brother" and widowed. I believe this was probably a widowed wife of a brother to Edwin.
