Hisey, Edna May (Seibert) (1899-1981)
Description
Edna May (Seibert) Hisey standing by a bench and wearing a jacket and skirt.
Edna was the middle child and only daughter of Charles Wilbur (1870-1964) and Bessie Bruce (Koontz) (1878-1955) Seibert. Her father worked odd jobs. She had an older brother, Frank C. and a younger one, Harry R. Seibert. They were from rural Woodstock.
Her husband was William Clovis Hisey (1890-1957), who appeared as Edna’s next-door neighbor in the 1910 census for the Stonewall District. William was the only child of John William (1866-1937) and Virginia C. (Kibler) (1871-1948) Hisey.
Early in their marriage, they lived in Illinois, where their only child, 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.
