  Married	Bef 23 May 1920
  	From Todd Downing, Aug 2012: "She married Hawaiian territorial senator John H. Wise in 1920 (not sure if they were married in Honolulu or Washington DC, where she was living and working as a newspaper correspondent). What we do know is that she and her younger sister Grace went to Honolulu, fell in love with Hawaiian music, and became recording artists and radio celebrities shortly thereafter. From what I've found in newspaper archives, Edith's marriage to John H. Wise lasted less than a year - they were married and divorced during 1920."
  Divorced	Yes, date unknown

Wise is a native Hawaiian, a member of the territorial legislature and a delagate to the Republican national committee.

  Married	5 Dec 1926	Riverside, Riverside Co., CA
  	From Todd Downing, August 2012: "Her fourth and final marriage was to William Francis Beers (1852-1935), a person of some importance in Galveston TX. This would have happened after the death of Beers' first wife, Iola Barns of New Orleans LA (1852-1925). I would guess toward the end of their lives, as he died the year before Edith did."
