    Mr. Edwards was born in Kitley Township, Leeds County in 1844. Early in life he moved to Athens where he lived until he entered on his ministerial life in 1885. At this time he was ordained into the Methodist ministry, and for over thirty years continued to serve the Methodist church until June 1918 when he superannuated and came to Cobourg to reside.
