Notes for EDITH PAULINE BARKER:

 After Edith found out about the descretions of her first husband, Edward Roth, her step-sister, Isabelle Wilson came from California to get Edith and the girls and take them back on the train. They told Edward that they were just going on a vacation and would return. She came to San Diego and never returned. She got a divorce in 1924 from him.When they arrived in San Diego the family had to split up. Wilberta went to live with Aunt Harriet in Los Angeles, Beatrice with Aunt Beatrice on El Cajon Blvd. near College Ave. and Dee stayed with her mother at Aunt Marie's on Granada Ave.  Edith married Samuel E. Ginther after meeting him at the Boarding house that she and her daughter Dee lived and worked at. It was run by their Aunt Marie, Edith's cousin. Edith also worked at a grocery store in Hillcrest. They were married tilll his death in 1943. He was a mechanic at the O.D. Ginther Buick and Hudson-Essex Maintenance Shop, O.D. was his older brother. He also was a fisherman and had his own boat. From what is told, he lost several boats at sea. He was alcoholic and finally committed suicide.

 Edith was always a quiet person.She belonged to the St. James Episcopal Church during her years in Pittsburgh, Penn. In San Diego she attended several different churches. Because she usually had to walk to church or get a ride, she wasn't fussy about where she went. She told her daughters that as a young person she had gone down the "sawdust trail" at a meeting with Billy Sunday, a camptown preacher. This was the term meaning she went forward to receive Christ into her heart and life. Edith had heart troubles at the end of her life. She died in the San Diego County Hospital, in the Hillcrest area.
