Read More	Edgar Stiles Farnsworth was born on July 2, 1921 in Edgeley, LaMoure County, North Dakota, the youngest of six children born to the blacksmith Edgar Marshall Farnsworth and his wife Elizabeth Jane (Stiles). Edgar grew up in the town of Edgeley, enjoying the close company of family and friends in the community. Tall and lanky, Edgar was quite outgoing and known for his comic ways. Edgar S. Farnsworth joined the US Navy during World War II serving in the Atlantic and Mediterranean fleets as a cook and steering room phone talker during combat. He was commended for conduct under aerial attack during the US invasion of Sicily. While on military leave on October 6, 1944, Edgar married the local Edgeley girl Della Marie Nelson, daughter of Alfred Nelson and his wife Sarah B. (Hannaford). After the war, Edgar managed several stores in North Dakota, then was called into the ministry. He served as a Methodist minister, first on Indian reservations in North and South Dakota, and later in several parishes located in various South Dakota towns. He and Della had three sons (Michael David, Roderick Owen, and Edgar Stiles Farnsworth, Jr.). Edgar and Della retired in Sumter, South Carolina where Edgar's oldest sister Ethel Salisbury was living at the time. In retirement he and Della travelled a fair amount, and Edgar even pursued flying in his latter years. He suffered from pulmonary difficulties the last years of his life and spent his last while in a care facility in Columbia, South Carolina, where he died on May 11, 2006. He was cremated, and per his wishes, his ashes were buried near his parents in the Mount Hope Cemetery in Edgeley, North Dakota.
