Brother Joe sent me copies of some articles from the Springfield "News Leader" newspaper about the Edward Felin Family. Briefly, Joe has been doing research in to the Edward Felin Family to prove that Mary Pauline Austin Felin is the daughter of Edward and Lois and, as such, is entitled to eventual burial in the Edward Felin Family plot in the Marshfield Cemetery.
Edward was the brother of our father, James Louis. He married Lois Willis and they had three offspring, James Edward and twin daughters Pashe Nadine and Mary Pauline. Both James and Nadine died at early ages in car crashes. None of the three ever had children. Nadine was eight months pregnant when she was killed, and her unborn child died with her. [Joe, please weigh in here if I have some of these facts wrong.]
The following are the articles Joe found. Note the different ways "Felin" is spelled.
Joe sent this additional information today (7/01/13):

Joe sent this additional information today (7/01/13):
"Aunt Lois's maiden name was WILLIS
Also the 1900 and later U.S. census's and for sure, Uncle Bud's WWI Military Registration card all showed only one" L". Same for his marriage license. The census's also lists various Turnbo & Marshfield residents with one L. such as Herny (Cash) that had the clothing store, Peo that had the grocery store and on and on."
[I had put Aunt Lois's maiden name as "Thomas." I changed it after receiving Joe's e-mail.]
