I am looking for information or Florence Editha or Edith Goodwin, the wife of William W. Goodwin who was a farmer in Elm Grove, Labette Co., Kansas.

I've tracked her in the 1880 census and the 1900,1910, 1920 and 1930 census reports. Her name is variously, Edithea f, Edith F, Florence Editha, Edith. She was born in Kansas in 1875 to David W. and Mary A. Houston. They were born in Ohio and PA, respectively.
WIlliam W. Goodwin was born in Ky and moved with his parents to Elm Grove, Labette Co., Kansas where they were living in 1880. He had two sons by a previous marriage.
Florence Editha is mentioned in the Garnett Review on the occassion of the death of her father (1915) and her mother (1918). She was my gt. grandfather T.W. Houston's sister, but our family lost track of Edith and her descendants, if any, after the death of her mother, Mary A. Houston in 1918.
Any information about this family would be appreciated.
Sincerely,

Pat Stempski
