I am looking for genealogy information on EDSON E. ORTON, his wife Mary S. and their daughter Florence (?). Edson was born 31 Aug 1849 in Fairfax, Franklin, VT and died 1 Mar 1929. He is buried at the IOOF Cemetery, Blackwell, Kay Oklahoma. I found the family in the 1920 census in Blackwell. I do not know how long they lived there, his occupation, etc. His mother, Abigail HAKINS Orton (b.19 Sep 1820 VT; d. Dec 1870 NY) was an ancestor of my husbands. Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

info I found as follows:
Buried in the Blackwell Cemetery
Block 232 [All ORTON] Robert, Edson E, Mary Francis, Edson E, Charles A, Clarence.
Block 246 Una Jackson [Streamer], Susan [Streamer] Orton, Ernest Streamer
