***I would like to thank Hudson Louie Find A Grave ID 49842853 for updating middle name information in addition to adding his photo of Edward to this memorial***

***I would like to thank RMCO Find A Grave ID 48925549 for updating the burial location information on this memorial in addition to linking his parents to it as well as adding his gravesite photos***

Note for Burial Location left by RMCO
Turns out Edward is actually buried near his parents in St. Johns in Lowellville rather than the St. Johns in Campbell. I find that the Veterans Burial Cards make this mistake often. They end up in Lowellville but the cards say Reed Street in Campbell.
