Edna J. Lightfoot ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

Source: Claire Chantell [chantell@virginia.edu]

How do I know Edna is their daughter? Because in the 1910 census for Cook, Chicago, I find Clem W. Lightfoot (see below) living as brother-in-law to the head of household in the home of Roy R. Gossett and Edna J. Gossett. So I thought "Clem must be the brother of Edna J. Gossett." Working some more on Roy and Edna led me to the Porter County death index, 1884-1927, which shows Edna J. Gossett's birth and death dates and lists her parents as William "Thytford" and Ida Allen. Thytford must be a misspelling of Lightfoot. She's buried in Hebron cemetery. Edna and Roy appear to have had no children.
