Read More	Per his death certificate, Edward McDonnell Drais died on 6 Apr 1918 in Farmington, San Joaquin County, CA. He was under the care of Dr. Charles Rees Harry of Stockton from 25 Jan 1917 to about Jun 1917. Dr. Harry determined he died of "Valvular Heart Disease," a condition he suffered from for several years. Thereafter, the deceased was buried in the Farmington Cemetery on 9 Apr 1918, with the firm of Wallace Undertaking Company of Stockton taking care of the funeral arrangements. Henry Drais was the informant for the personal information in the death certificate. He described Edward Drais as being white, a widower, and a farmer prior to his death. Mr. Drais was born on 17 Feb 1842 in Missouri, giving him an age of 76 years, 1 month, and 19 days at his death. His father was James Madison Drais, a native of Missouri. His mother had the last name of McConnell. Her first name was not known. His mother was a native of Missouri. Edward Drais was at his place of death for 54 years and in California for 56 years. Edward is in the 1850 federal census as Edward Davis. (Of course, it should be Drais.) He is living with his parents Madison J. and Lucinda Drais (as Davis). Edward and his family were living in the Green Township of Platte County, Missouri. His father Madison was 34 years old and a farmer who was born in Virginia. Madison owned land worth $3,200. Edward's mother Lucinda was 22 years old and a native of Kentucky. From the ages of the 5 children in the home, it is obvious that Lucinda was Madison's second wife. Madison's first wife would be aged 30 years or more by this census. (see Madison in the 1840 federal census.) I would hazard a guess that the first 3 children were born to Madison's first wife and the last 2 were born to Lucinda. All five children were born in Missouri. They are Mary (10), Edward (8), Sena (male, 6), Sidney (2), and Thomas (6 months). In the next census, Sena is set forth as Asena and Asena is a female. I suspect Sena was also a female and her entry as a male is a mistake. (Based on the above, the mother of Edward is unknown. She would have died in or about 1844.) Edward is in the 1860 federal census as Edward Drais. He is living with his parents. His father Madison is in the 1860 federal census as Madison J. Drais. Madison and his family were living in the Castoria Township in San Joaquin County, CA. The nearest post office was in Marietta. Madison was 44 years old, a farmer, and a native of Virginia. His wife Lucinda J. was 34 years old and a native of Kentucky. There were five children in the home. All were born in Missouri except the last, who was born in California. The children were Edward (18), Asena (female, 15), Alexander (12), Thomas J. (10), and George W. (3). Edward is in the 1870 federal census as Edward Drace. He was then out on his own. He and his wife and children were living in the North Township of Stanislaus County, CA. The nearest post office was the 26 Mile House. Edward was listed as being 26 years old, a farmer, and a native of Missouri. His land was valued at $3,000 and his personal property at $1,500. He could not read. His wife Rosanna was 26 years old and a native of Missouri. She was "Keeping House." There were three children in the home and they were all born in California. They were Mary B. (5), George E. (3), and Lee W. (1). Edward is in the 1880 federal census as Edward M. Drace. He and his wife and family were living in Camp Washington, Stanislaus County, CA. Edward was then married to Rosanna Drace. Edward was 37 years old, a native of Missouri, and a farmer. This would give him a year of birth in or about 1843. Rosanna was 25 years (should be 35 years old) and a native of Missouri. There were 6 children in the household and all were born in California. The children were Mary (15), George E. (13), Lee Walter (12), Minnie (8), Henry (3), and Elizabeth (4 months). Edward is in the 1900 federal census as Edward M. Drais. Edward M. and his wife Rosana Drais and their family were living in Oakdale, Township 1, Stanislaus County, CA. They had been married 35 years. Edward was 58 years old, a native of Missouri, and a farmer. He was born in Feb 1842. Rosana was 55 years old and a native of Missouri. She was born in Mar 1845. She had delivered 8 children and 7 were still living. All of the children were born in California. The other six children were George E. (33, born Jan 1867), Walter L. (31, born Feb 1869), Minnie (26, born Jul 1873), Henry H. (23, born Mar 1877), Elizabeth (20, born Mar 1880), and Madison (17, born Apr 1883). Edward is in the 1910 federal census as Edward Drais. Edward was now a widower. His occupation was that of farmer, raising stock and grain. His daughter Elizabeth Drais was in the home. She was listed as being 30 years old, a native of California, and a widow. (She had married in late 1905 and her husband died in mid-1906. His last name was Stuart.) George, Walter, and Madison Drais were still in the home and they were all in the farming business, probably helping their father. Edward's wife, Rosanna Drais, died on 31 Dec 1906. She was 61 years old. Edward M. Drais died 6 Apr 1918 in San Joaquin County, CA.
