Edna Gladney
Edna Browning Kahly Gladney (January 22, 1886 – October 2, 1961), was an early campaigner for children's rights and better living conditions for disadvantaged children.
Her life story was told in the 1941 film ''Blossoms in the Dust'', in which she was portrayed by Greer Garson, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Gladney.〔http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=85464142&sid=1&Fmt=10&clientId=1561&RQT=309&VName=HNP〕
==Early life==
Gladney was born on January 22, 1886 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Minnie Nell Jones. Her mother was not married and was only seventeen when Edna was born. Her natural father was never revealed, and Jones later married Maurice Kahly. Jones and Kahly had a daughter together, named Dorothy. After Maurice's death, Gladney's mother sent her to live with her aunt and uncle in Fort Worth, Texas in 1904.〔( GLADNEY, EDNA BROWNING KAHLY )〕
Though expecting to only stay in Fort Worth for a few months, Gladney stayed longer and eventually met Sam Gladney in 1906. After a summer of courtship and silly postcards, Gladney left her fiancé from Wisconsin to marry Gladney. Sam Gladney was ten years older than she was, and worked at Medlin Flour Milling Company.〔https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=483181466869〕 In 1913, the Gladneys moved to Sherman, Texas so that Sam could open his own milling company, Gladney Milling. Edna joined the Sherman Civic League and started inspecting local meat markets and public restrooms for cleanliness.〔https://www.facebook.com/gladneycenter?sk=notes&s=10#!/note.php?note_id=1015009813540〕
