Captain L. M. Edwards was noted in his day; he died a few months ago, and left a large family, sons and daughters ; he was married twice ; his first wife was a Miss Martin, sister of the late A. Martin and, I think, a cousin of Captain Edwards by her be had sons and daughters ; sons, Richard, Albert, Enos and Hamilton, all of whom are married, and have families, are good citizens and doing fairly well. By Captain Edwards' second wife, the Widow Fort, originally a Miss Lewis, he had sons-P. H. Edwards, Marion, Olin and Bonnie; of these, Marion is dead ; P. H. Edwards married a daughter of Dr. C. T. Ford ; Olin married a daughter of T. B. Hays ; Bonnie is yet single. Captain Edwards had some daughters by each wife; one married Samuel Roberts; one married a Nicholson; and perhaps other daughters, unknown. Of his first sons, Richard married a Miss Martin, his first cousin ; Albert Edwards married a Miss Roberts; Enos Edwards married Miss Hays, and Hamilton Edwards married Miss Ida Smith. These are all now citizens of the county, and performing their duties as such. ;
