Notes:

Alternate Name:
I have 5 paintings done by Mary, 4 oils and 1 appears to be chalk or pencil. One hung in our family home for most of my life and I acquired the others after her death.

Researchers on ancestry.com consistently give the parents of Edna Pearl King as James Robert King and Leona Welden but the records are full of inconsistencies. One researcher has Leona married 3 times, to Robert King, Hezekiah McGinnis and then Charles Yoemans. This is impossible as the King and McGinnis marriages are simultaneous. Further Hezekiah and Leona McGinnis are alive and well in Kentucky during the 1920 census. Hezekiah and Leona are listed as having been married 7 years in the 1900 census (this while the King marriage is still producing children.) Leona is enumerated in the 1910 census in Indianapolis, IN along with her daughters Mary and Bernice King. She is listed as Divorced (and Leona and Hezekia McGinnis are still in Kentucky at this time). I believe these were all put together using ancestry's dancing leaves that urge one to connect records and people with no real research or thought.

In fact Leona was married 4 times but never to Hezekiah McGinnis.

Name:
Edna was generally known as Mary Creamer, this is how she signed her paintings. She gave lessons and conducted showings as Mary Creamer.

I have 5 paintings done by Mary, 4 oils and 1 appears to be chalk or pencil. One hung in our family home for most of my life and I acquired the others after her death.

Census:

In July of 1922 Leona takes over management of the American Cafe at 106 Silver Avenue, waffles being a specialty. Ads for the restaurant list Mrs. L. L. Scott as the proprietor. This is a clue as to the state of her marriage to William as a woman is generally not called or referred to by her "Christian" name unless unmarried or a widow.
In September of 1922 it is reported that the Cafe reopened under new management and Leona is never mentioned in the papers again.

Saginaw Men In Demand
Two Well Known Young Busness (sic) Men Have Been Captured for Outside Concerns
Saginaw men are in demand in the outside business world, as well as a home and sometimes they feel compelled to yield to the alluring offers made them. This has happened to W. E. English and James G. Maher, two well known employes of the Barie Dry Goods company, who will sever relations with that concern to enter upon careers elsewhere about the beginning of the new year.
Mr. English, who has been in charge of a department in the Saginaw house, will go to the Taylor Carpet company, Indianapolis, and will be in charge of drapery, furnishing and contract decorating department of that firm, which is considered a splendid opportunity. Mr. Mahar (sic), who has been for some years in the whole sale department of the Saginaw firm, and also secretary to William Barie, junior, will take up a similar line of work in the wholesale Krolich house at Detroit. Both men regret for personal reasons that they are leaving Saginaw, but they could not afford to decline the opportunities offered them for advancement financially and otherwise.
