He was united in marriage to Harriet ALSUP July 27, 1853. To this union were born 10 children, 6 of whom are still living, Sarah A. SIMMONS, Eliza ALEXANDER, Nathan EDDE, Joe T. EDDE, Charles E. and Albert P. who live near Nemo and Preston. Bro. EDDE professed faith in Christ as his Savior during a meetting held by Rev. HOLMAN at or near the place where the widow of the late Joseph RIFFLE now lives, some 50 years ago. While he never united with a church he lived an upright and constant Christian life and often told his family and friends during his long afflictions and suffering that he was ready to go to meet his Savior. To live was Christ and to die was gain. He died April 30, 1913 and after services by Rev. H. L. PARRACK assisted by Rev. A. B. WILSON he was laid to rest in the Fisher Cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends to await the resurrection Morn. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Phyllis Hill USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
