Edith Daley

Long-time San Jose librarian. Edith deserves much more credit for her time as a columnist and writer for the San Jose Evening News through 1922 where she wrote colorful and in-depth articles on local industries. Even though these were intended as flattering portraits, the articles give significant color and detail about local plants.

Edith also wrote the War History of Santa Clara County summarizing life in San Jose during World War I, and wrote a book of poetry entitled "The Angel in the Sun".
