Edith had six siblings:



• Sara Elizabeth "Betty" Shuey (born 19 February 1898 in Pennsylvania. Sara Elizabeth Shuey was married to Clyde Mabry. This Sara Elizabeth (Shuey) Mabry died 01 September 1953 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California.)
  
  
  NOTE: The first two children who survived to adulthood, Sara and Oscar, both married someone with the surname "Mabry." Perhaps their spouses, Clyde Mabry and Betty Mabry were brother and sister?
  
  NOTE: Sara was named for her mother, Sarah. Naming for relatives and friends was a common practice in the Martin family. Note that this daughter Sara's middle name is Elizabeth, which could have been in honor of Sarah Jane (Martin) Shuey's older sister, Elizabeth "Lizzy" (Martin) Shaffer Eckerd
  
  
• Grace Shuey (Born 31 August 1899 in Pennsylvania. Died 10 September 1900 in Pennsylvania.)
  
  
  NOTE: Grace Shuey died 10 days after her first birthday.
  
  
• Oscar Clyde Shuey, Jr. (born 11 January 1901 in Pennsylvania. Married to Betty Mabry. Oscar Clyde Shuey, Jr. died 27 June 1978.)
  
  
  NOTE: These first two children who survived to adulthood, Sara and Oscar, both married someone with the surname "Mabry." Perhaps their spouses, Clyde Mabry and Betty Mabry were brother and sister?
  
  NOTE: Oscar was named for his father, Oscar.
  
  
  • Sara Lee Shuey was the daughter of Oscar Clyde Shuey, Jr. and Betty (Mabry) Shuey. She carried on the name of her grandmother, Sarah, and her aunt, Sara.

• Frederick James Shuey (Born 17 December 1904 in Pennsylvania. Died 10 March 1954 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California.)
  
  
  NOTE: This Frederick James Shuey was probably named for his maternal grandfather, James Frederick Martin, with the first and middle names reversed.
  
  He apparently went by "Jimmy" for a while, and "Fred" for a while, per my grandmother's recollections of this first cousin.
  
  
• John Shuey (Born in Pennsylvania.)
  
  
  NOTE: This John Shuey could have been named for his uncle, John Henry Martin, because Sarah was close to her brother John, both of them moving from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles County, California. And/or, this John Shuey could have been named for his maternal great-grandfather, John Martin who was born in Ireland.
