    His brother, Robert Edwards, having preceded him to this country; settled upon a farm in Cambria township, nine miles north of Ebensburg, where he became a prosperous and successful farmer. Mr. Edwards was employed as a day-hand by his brother Robert and others in the neighborhood until after his marriage in 1843, when he engaged in farming and lumbering in Cambria township. Carefully husbanding the profits of his business, he purchased, in 1850, a farm of one hundred acres in Black Lick township, upon which he resided the remainder of his life.
