His father, Raymond, and mother, Eliza Jane (Wassom) Burkhart (1822-1862), had five sons who lived to adulthood and were given portions of their father's original land claim in the Albany/Lebanon area from 1847 as they reached maturity. Edwin, who was b.Oct 10, 1859, loved farming and was good at it, raising crops and building a house on his own land.
