Ed was known to family as kind and gentle. However, during his childhood, it was apparent that he had mental health issues that would prevent him from living on his own. In his early 20s he began living with his younger brother, Floyd.

Ed's job was Floyd's housekeeper, and grounds keeper. This arrangement was satisfactory even though Ed's mental health issues became worse. Finally, things came to a head during the summer of 1929 when Ed had a psychotic break with reality. Ed, in this frame of mind, set fire to Floyd's house. Afterward, Ed spent the remainder of his life in a prison for people that commit crimes while mentally ill (Ed was charged with arson), and a mental health asylum where he was diagnosed as suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia, which is the same diagnosis as his maternal grandfather, Friedtick Ernst Geisler. Once Ypsilanti State Asylun was opened, Ed was transferred there, where he remained until he died from a bowel obstruction I 1950.
