 Although he still lived

 in Moniteau Co.
 Ed and Mary traveled
 from Missouri to 
 California several times.
 In 1910 Mary is living
 with her son John

 with them in the 1920

I currently have very little on Edward and Mary. It appears Mary remarried to a Vanwinkle. There is a death record for a Mary E Vanwinkle in Missouri born in 1856 however I can not prove she ever moved back there. I will need to do further research to finish up Mary.
