Wilburn of Hobbs, Mrs. Florence Murray of Indianapolis and Mrs. Ella Rohrer of Sheridan. Two sisters were deceased in infancy.
Mr. Edmonson was born in Dallas Center, Iowa, June 18th, 1856 and was the only son of Elias and Elizabeth Edmonson. His parents moved to Indiana when he was about two years old and settled on a farm in Hamilton county near Aroma and he grew to manhood and received his education in that community. Mr. Edmonson was united in marriage to Miss Frances Justice of Hamilton county November 18th, 1883 and after their marriage they resided near Aroma for three years. Forty-one years ago they bought a farm north of Hobbs and moved there.
For a short time Mr. Edmonson was engaged in the general merchandising business at Aroma, following his retirement from active life. Later, he was also engaged in the same business in Hobbs having charge of the general store at that place. Since selling the store he lived a quiet retired life.
Mr. Edmonson was an active member of the I.O.O.F. lodge of Hobbs and of the K. of P. lodge at Frankton. While not a member of any church, he was a man of true Christian character and was a liberal supporter of the Methodist church of Hobbs of which his wife was a member and he was active and could be depended upon in any of the church activities. He was a good and friend and he will be mourned by the entire community.
