Notes:

In the 1920 census, he is shown as Edwin, the son of Knute and Berth Rudy of Forest Twp in Rice County, Minnesota.

The Dalby database says he is the son of Andrew Rudy and Emma Lockrem. However, he is not in the MHS birth index. (Nor is his mother’s death in the MHS death index.) His mother’s maiden name is shown as Lockrem in the MHS death index. He is not mentioned in his biological father’s obit.

The estimable dwfrench1 has him as Edwin Andrew Rudy, biological son of Anders and Emma but the adopted son of Knute Rudy (brother of Anders) and Lina Dalby Rudy.
