Grandaughter Caroline Foote wrote: her birth certificate was probably lost in the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906. Her family knew she was born in San Francisco, and that is stated in obituaries. I also have copies of letters from her mother to relatives on the East Coast written in San Francisco only a few weeks after this birth.

Caroline also wrote: Henry Marcus Edmonds was my grandfather and although his birth certificate cannot be found to prove it, I am convinced his name was Harry. I also have two legal documents signed by him as "Harry".
