Edward and one brother were not captured.

Edward came to Canada in 1907. His one brother Henry (birth name Rudolph) also came to Canada. Edward made a homestead claim on the eastern part of Saskatchewan near Wolseley. He married Lydia Marie Jedel in Wolseley on April 29, 1914. Edward worked on the railroad and other farms while trying to build up his own homestead but the land was unworkable and he eventually bought a farm in Edgeley, Sk.
