BiographyMLM: "He and his wife were deeply religious, but Edward was very niggardly toward providing for the family welfare. It is said that his wife could stretch a dollar farther than any one else. This practice apparently affected her mind, so she was confined to the state insane asylum. Most of her moments were lucid ones, but occasionally it was necessary for three strong men to restrain her. Edwin unable to obtain a divorce, left the county, heading West. No one remembers where he died, but it is believed that it was in the south."4
