Centenarian, Edna Schwab, 104, of York, died on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2011 at York. Edna was born in Imperial on June 14, 1907, the first child of Albert and Alvina (Hoffman) Hust.
Edna was baptized Nov. 19, 1907. When Edna was 11, her parents moved the family back to Sutton, the birthplace of both parents. They joined the Hope Reform Church in Sutton. Edna was confirmed and joined the church's membership at age 14.
Edna attended the rural school in District 66 and Farmers Valley Mill. She graduated from Sutton High School in 1926. They were the first Sutton class to wear caps and gowns.
