At the tender age of six months he was left motherless, and went through the early years of his life without the tender guidance of a mother. When he reached the age of eight years, his father together with his band of motherless children left Michigan to settle in Iowa, and here in Buchanan county, Iowa, Edwin grew to manhood. On the 4th day of July in the year of 1871 he was united in marriage to Sarah J. Castell, and together with his young bride he settled on a farm near Walter, Iowa and here for seven years hand in hand and side by side giving council and comfort to one another this couple lived and in February 1879, unable to resist the call of the great western plains and the promise of free lands in Nebraska they moved to Knox county and took up a homestead near Walnut, Nebraska, here they built their "soddy" and in this then sparsely settled county they fought the battle of the frontier. On this homestead they lived, sharing their joys and sorrows, sharing fortune and misfortune, here their children were born and grew to maturity, and here was established the happy family that to them was to become a comfort in the reclining years and with the exception of nine years spent on what is known as the Ray Eyer farm and one year spent at Verdigre, Nebraska, the balance of his years here upon this earth, were spent with his family upon the homestead that he wrested from the wilderness. Upon this homestead he built for himself and his partner in life, the little home that was the scene of many happy days of his declining years and here for 12 years they maintained the Walnut telephone central office and by their kind service they endeared themselves to the whole community. About 15 months ago, Edwin deceloped trouble with his eyes, and soon lost his eye sight, and soon his general health began to fail, until Sunday February 9, 1930, when the angel of death beckoned to him, and conducted him into the garden of his God. He leaves to mourn his loss besides the loving wife, four children, two sons and two daughters: Frank, Guy, Mrs. John (Leafy) Horiskey of Orchard, Nebraska, and Mrs. William G. (Rosa May) Cook of Walnut Nebraska, 22 grand-children and 19 great-grandchildren; 5 brothers and two sisters and host of friends and acquaintances.
