Elizabeth Lnu, probably ca. 1929, and had issue Alma, Agnes and Charles Edwards Jr.7,8
Census1910*	Alma appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Philadelphia Ward 32, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, enumerated circa 15 April 1910, as 27 yo widowed boarding house keeper Alma Berkenstock. Her son 5 yo Charles Berkenstock was listed as living with her as well as two boarders.8
Marriage*	Her second marriage was to George Edwards from 6 April 1910 to 31 December 1910. Marriage Index says they were married in 1910. Alma is the widow Berkenstock in the April 1910 census so this marriage presumably took place between 06 Apr and 31 Dec. King says George & Alma had no issue.9,1
Census1920	Alma appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Philadelphia Ward 43, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, enumerated 26 January 1920, as 36 yo (married, not widowed) Alma Edwards. Her 14 yo son Charles Berkenstock was listed as living with her.10
Census1940*	Alma and George appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, enumerated 10 April 1940, as 65 yo Geo W L & 65 yo wife Alma Edwards. Alma's 35 yo son Chas (now showing surname Edwards rather than Berkenstock), Chas's 32 yo wife Elizabeth and their two daughters Alma and Agnes Edwards were listed as living with them. Alma's listed age is too high by about 10 years.4
Census1950	Alma appeared on the 1950 Federal Census of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, as 60 yo widowed mother Alma Edwards in the household of her son Charles & daughter-in-law Elizabeth Edwards and family. This year Alma's age is about 7 years too young.11
Death*	Alma died on 7 November 1961 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, at age 84, of acute left ventricle failure.12
Burial*	She was buried, King claims she's buried by her 2nd husband in Woodlands Cemetery, Philadelphia, though I find no record for either person in Find A Grave. Her death certificate says she's buried at Fernwood Cemetery, Fernwood, DE, but I find no such place in Find A Grave . There are two Fernwood Cemeteries in PA but neither lists Alma.1,12
