 * It's been estimated that around 1902 or so, Edward up and left his wife and family to head out west and 'seek his fortune'. This, we assume, we be Edward taking off to join one of the several gold rushes out west during that time. He never returned. For years and years no one knew where exactly he had gone, what had happened to him, if he indeed had done well for himself, or even when, how and where he died. After years of not knowing, and unsuccessful searching for Edward's whereabouts, he's finally been found buried in Portland, Oregon. His death: July 15th, 1905.
