[or-roots] Carrie F. ???? (Edwards)

[Ray Powell]

I have recently come across a person that I can't figure out where else to look. My grandfather Calvin Russell Powell b. Nov 20, 1873 shows up on the 1910 Census in Gilliam County, Lone Rock Precinct married to a Carrie F. b. about 1892 who has a son named Frank J. Edwards who was born about 1896 in Oregon. Frank's father was born in Oregon. Carrie was born in Oregon and her father was born in Germany and her mother was born in Switzerland. Carrie had six children but only two were living in 1910. 

My grandfather Calvin married my grandmother Isabel Olive Willis in 1915. The Oregon marriage index that I have access to does not start until 1906 and the census says they were married for 7 years. Does anyone out there have an ??? Edwards that was married to a Carrie F. ??? and at least the name of one of the children was Frank J. Edwards? Short of personally reading the census for every county in Oregon (the indexes (indices?) seem to have missed my grandfather in 1900) I'm not sure of where to look next for info on this Carrie F. We had heard rumors in the family that he had been married to a Carrie prior to marrying Isabel in 1915 but the 1910 Census is the first evidence that I have found that confirmed it. 

The Carrie Francis Powell that shows up in the Oregon Death Index is not the right Carrie. She was born in 1896 and died in 1918 and is buried in the Mulkey Cemetary in Eugene, Lane, OR.
