GREAT GREAT GRANDSON OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR CAPTAIN JOHN GEORGE OVERMIRE

CIVIL WAR VETERAN, PRIVATE, CO. G, 7TH CALIFORNIA INFANTRY

Notes by Laurence Overmire, genealogist and Overmyer family historian, updated May 2022:

Edward was a miner in 1860. He fought in the Civil War and in 1880 was living in Grass Valley, Nevada Co., CA, with his sister-in-law Zilpha (Vanderbilt) Overmyer, widow of his brother Isaac. He married his second wife Honore "Nora" Calanan about 1885. They had a son Lawrence Edward Overmyer, born 28 Dec. 1886, in Marysville, Yuba County, California. Edward was killed in a wagon accident. While driving down a steep grade, he lost control of the horses and was dragged underneath the wagon. By the time rescuers came to his aid, he was deceased.
