Eddie Edwards – Obituary 1888 _ A touching death was that of Edwin Sherman Edwards, son of Louis E. Edwards, at about noon yesterday, at 159 Fairfield avenue. He was in his sixth year, and very bright.
His illness began on Sunday Fef. 12, and the physican prescribed for a fever. On Friday last it was apparent he had diphtheria. Soon after eleven o’clock he requested to be lifted from the bed and while in the arms of his father, said: ” I am dying, I know I am.”
This he repeated three times and then expired. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.V. Garner at 4 o’clock, and the remains were taken to Mountain Grove Cementary for burial.
