The Covington News, November 26, 1926

Mrs. Addie B. Edwards Passes Away at Age of Eighty-Three
  Mrs. Addie Bryan Edwards, widow of Col. E. F. Edwards, quietly
passed away at her home on Monticello Street, Friday afternoon being
nearly eighty-three years of age. She had been ill of brights disease
for several months but was seemingly as well as usual the day before
her death when she went to the dining room for her meals. Friday
afternoon she went to sleep and did not wake up.
  She leaves one brother, Dr. Jasper Bryan, of Elberton; three children;
W. A. Edwards, of Idaho, Mrs. G. L. Patterson, of Los Angeles, Cal., and
Mrs. W. H. Gray, of Asheville, N. C., and several grandchildren.
  The funeral service was conducted at the home at three o'clock, 
Sunday afternoon by her pastor, Rev. Walker Combs, of the Baptist
church and interment followed at West View Cemetery.
  Mrs. Edwards was born and reared in Covington and in her younger days
was very active in patriotic and civic organizations. She was a charter
member of the Sargeant Newton Chapter D. A. R. and an active member
of the U. D. C. and the W. C. T. U.
  She was a gifted writer and her children cherish many of her writings
as she was a contributor to magazines and newspapers in years gone by.
  While her husband was alive, and her children were at home they 
dispensed a bountiful and open hospitality and many old Emory boys
were charmingly entertained in this delightful home.
  Among those from out of town who attended her funeral were her daughter,
Mrs. W. H. Gray, her grand-daughters, Mrs. R. F. Schley, and Miss
Emma Gray and great-grand-daughter, Martha Gray Schley, of Asheville,
N. C., and a niece, Mrs. Chas. Duval, of Decatur.
