I remember Edna very well. She did have a daughter by William Muir but her name was Frances, not Edna. Frances married Perry Havey, a retired undertaker, and they operated Meadowbridge Nursery near Allen, MD.
Edna later married a well-known features writer for the Daily Times and that union resulted in much speculation.
I have even heard it said that Edna took a bath at one time but that rumor has not been confirmed.
tk for ppe says: Edna Muir's newspaper column would state that it was written as told to Brice Stump (the Daily Times writer whom she later married).
After further thought I seem to recall that the daughter's proper name was actually Edna Frances Muir (Davey) but she commonly went by Frances and I never heard anyone address her as Edna.
I also remember one day she and her new husband, Brice, were on a trip to Norfolk in her Lincoln Continental (the only type of automobile she would own). Just after arriving somewhere near the old Lake Wright Motor Lodge on Rt. 13 the Lincoln started to overheat so Brice pulled into the nearest Ford/Lincoln dealership. Instead of waiting to have her car repaired Edna pulled out her checkbook and purchased a new Lincoln right then and there.
