I am trying to find the parents of Edith B. Boone born circa 1895. The middle initial could have referenced her maiden name. She married Frank Ausburn Snow in 1919 in the town of Abington PA. 1920 census shows her living in Cheltenham, Montgomery Co., PA. She died Circa 1962 or 1964 in Somers Point, NJ and her body was buried in North East Philadelphia. Supposedly with her family. Her husband was buried in Marmora, NJ several years later. Since all relatives of her have died accept my wife, who is her granddaughter, we can not find the cemetery. we visited the cemetery back in 1975 and we can not find it again. We think the cemetery was moved and a mall was built in it's place. Trying to find out who her parents were at this point or where she is buried. Any help hear would be appreciated. It was family lore she was a Daniel Boone relative, but no one really knew how.

1930 census says her mother was born in Kentucky, her father was born in Pennsylvania. She and Frank lived in Philadelphia at that time. Abington is close to Phila.

Thank you for the reply. I did find the census, but that was about it. Then I found out where she was buried. I called the cemetery and the woman whom answered the phone ended up being my wife's 1st cousin 1x removed. The other shocked was the Boone name was her middle name, not the last name. I now have that lineage back to 1750. I will be deleting these posts after a couple weeks since they are now a moot point.
Thanks again for your suggestion and lead.
