What happened to the children: Edith Margaret McCallum

Edith was less than six years old when her father took her to the orphanage.[1] By age sixteen, Edith was living with her deceased mother’s sister, Margaret McCormick, and working as a stenographer.[2] She married Earl Gordon Walker in 1914 at the age of twenty.[3] The couple had two sons: John Alan and Earl Gordon.[4] By 1930, the family resided in Los Angeles, California where Edith passed away on 24 June 1941.[5] Both of Edith’s sons became Catholic priests.
