At the time of the 1900 Federal Census of Allegheny County, Edna Flick, 5, was listed as the daughter of Ottie Flick; the mother was evidently deceased. Edna had a brother, Merl(e), and a sister, (Mary) Mathilda.

Edna Flick, Hospital Nurse, single, age 41, was found residing on Liberty Avenue, 8th Ward, Allegheny County, Pa., at the time of the 1920 census, enumerated in January. According to the census, she was born in Nebraska, and her parents were, as well. She was residing with 11 other nurses, including classmate, Anna Sheridan, in the residence of a physician and his family. This might have been a small hospital or, perhaps, the nurses boarded in the home and worked at a facility elsewhere. The state of birth and her age are probably errors...
