Edalph was born on September 29, 1924 in Essex County, Virginia to the late Tarsey Smith Blagmon and Esther Addie Williams Blagmon. He was one of nine siblings, of whom only two now survive.

Blagmon (deceased), and became the stepfather to Delores' three sons, Larry, Wayne (deceased) and Donald.
Edalph was a quiet and gentle person, but his biggest passion was automobiles. He loved to repair vehicles. Edalph owned an auto repair shop for many years and was well respected in his community. Following his retirement, you would still find him repairing cars of friends or family members.
