Yes, I'm guessing Fannie had mental health issues, as did Alf later on, obviously (if not earlier).
Alf and his brother Harry were my great-grandmother's older half-siblings. Harry was a successful banker, and his only child LeRoy "Bill" Edwards was a successful mechanical engineer. My family knew Harry's branch quite well. Alf's and Fannie's family was more disconnected from the other Edwards relatives, for obvious reasons. My grandfather and his siblings knew Alf's three children, but not as well. The daughter Myrtle was a nanny/housekeeper for the Compton family in Bloomfield, NJ, and later Irvington-on-the-Hudson, NY, as you may know.
I'm not aware of any living descendants of Alfred and Fannie (Young) Edwards. But now, finding out about Irving's daughter Ruth Edwards (born about 1920), I wonder if there might be.
Thanks again!
