Author: Luther A. Ingersoll (1908)

CYRUS L. EDINGER, for nearly a quarter century resident of California, and a
well-known citizen of Sawtelle, is a native of White Haven, Luzerne county, Pa.,
where he was born January 2, 1874. His father, Aaron Edinger, and his mother,
Sarah (Granger) Edinger, were born in Luzerne county and were of German descent.
The family came to California in 1885 and for several years lived in Los
Angeles. There are seven sons and two daughters. The father died in Ocean Park,
February, 1908, at the age of fifty-nine years. The widow still survives.

Mr. Edinger received his earliest schooling in his native town and, in later
boyhood and youth, attended the public schools of Los Angeles. He then took up
and mastered the carpenter's trade and engaged in the contract building
business. In 1897 he went to the town of Needles, California, and engaged in the
business. Needles was then in the infancy of its growth, and during his
residence there of about eight years, he erected quite all of the principal
buildings in the city. October 10, 1898, he there married Miss Etheline Keys, a
native daughter of Illinois. In 1905 he took up his residence at Sawtelle and
continued in the building business. In February, 1907, in company with William
Haas, he purchased the planing mill and building business of Snyder &
Werlenbaker, which business is now conducted under the firm name of Haas &
Edinger. Mr. Edinger is a Royal Arch Mason and a member of the Fraternal
Brotherhood, the I. O. O. F., Eastern Star and the Rebeccas. He works and votes
in the Republican party and was a delegate to the County Convention of 1908. He
is a member of the Sawtelle City Board of Trustees. Mr. and Mrs. Edinger have
four children—Harold, Claire, Edith and an infant unnamed. The family home is
No. 114 Eighth street.
