Very little is known about Leven James Edwards. From the inscription he must have been a good husband and father and friend. His wife, Tennessee, raised the children alone after his death, and the children we knew were very respected people. Family history has it that Leven died from blood poisoning. (Sylvia Edwards McDonald)

Inscription

Father - Age 44 years
A loving husband, a father dear,
A faithful friend lies buried here.
