Description
Photograph of Edna May (Seibert) Hisey (left) with her mother, Bessie Bruce (Koontz) Seibert (right).
Bessie Bruce Koontz was the daughter of Robert G. and Bettie (Fravel) Koontz. She married Charles Wilbur Seibert (1870-1964) and had three children. Edna May was her only daughter.
Edna May married William Clovis Hisey (1890-1957), who appeared as Edna’s next-door neighbor in the 1910 census for the Stonewall District.
Early in their marriage, they lived in Illinois, where their daughter, Louise, was born.
They left Illinois and moved to Washington D.C. where they stayed for many years. In 1930, William was a produce dealer there; in 1940, he drove a cab for the Diamond Cab Company.
By 1950, the family lived in St. Petersburg, Florida, where William was a painter and Louise worked as a clerk for the telephone company.
A couple of years later, they moved to Miami where they remained for the rest of their lives.
