Bonnie Sydnor remembered Obed’s wife Edith well. She writes: “She was a very sweet little old lady, and I will never forget how kind she was to me, and my brothers and sisters, when we were small. We walked 1 ½ miles to school, and in the extra cold winter days, we would always stop at Aunt Edie’s to get warm. And when she grew older and ill, I ‘sat up’ with her several times, and she was always just as sweet and kind as when we stopped in to get warm.” (1)
