Biography :
Edward Deyeager (Edward Deyorger) first settled in
Kansas City, state of Missouri where I find him in 1860, a married man with wife
Victorine, born Misssouri, 19 y.o. and a daughter, Julia, nine months old. After
the war he went back to Kansas City and had more children. I’m only aware of
Mary born about 1862 and Joseph E. who was living at Los Angeles at the time of
Edward death in 1927. In 1880, he was in Colorado, a lodger/boarder at
Leadville, alone, and a carpenter by trade but declaring himself a married
man(census taken June 14). A second time in the same census at the same place
but as teamster lodging at Martin Keenan saloon (census taken some days before
on June 5)
No such thing when he was admitted to the Home on October 1893 as a miner back from Denver, Colorado suffering from an hernia contacted in 1865 at Fort Smith, Arkansas. A widower with, as nearest relative, his daughter Julia, married to a Fred Jasper born Germany, living in Argentine, Kansas. From that time till 1922 he spent his time at the Kansas Home at Leavenworth although he was not in the Home between December 1894 and October 1895 and, in the 1910 census, I found him at Lansing, Delaware twp, Leavenworth County, a lodger at Mary J. Crump home with other lodgers.
He stated being born in February 1833 and having emigrated around 1850. When he died at the Home Hospital on July 19, 1927, his effects were shipped to his son Joseph E. living at Los Angeles, 328 East(or West) 51th street. They consisted in a trunk, a handbag, a crutch, an umbrella, two canes and a watch and chain. He is buried in the National Home Cemetery section 34, row 17 grave 7488.
