Bio
This is believed to be the beloved Mr. Edwards in the Little House on the Prairie Books written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. This information was taken from the book "The Little House Guidebook" written by William Anderson. -------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Find a Grave contributor, Bill Andres for the following obituary: "The Evening Star, Fri., Jan. 26, 1906 BURIAL OF ED. MASON Pioneer Was Laid to Rest in Harrisonville Cemetery Today. The funeral of Edmund Mason, of Bolton, who died Wednesday evening from the effects of an operation for ulcer of the stomach, took place this afternoon from the Bolton church, the burial being in the Harrisonville cemetery. The deceased was a member of the Elks and the burial was under the auspices of that lodge. Mr. Mason was born in Devonshire, England, in 1846, coming to Canada in 1867 and to Montgomery county in 1869, after spending some time as a government scout with the pack trains that left Fort Scott. With his brother he settled on a farm near Bolton which has ever since been his residence. He married Miss Etta Howard and eight children, seven of whom survive him, were born to the union. For several years past Mr. Mason has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. B. Lindsay. He had prospered in a worldly way and was the owner of much valuable property, among which is the building in which is located the Elks Home in this city. His brother, John Mason, died a short time ago. Transcribed by Bill Andres (47602571)"
