Biography

Notes

His 2nd wife, Ida May Tilden was born in Lucetta, Indiana. I had a bit of trouble locating it, I think because it no longer exists. I finally found it in Lippincott's New Gazetteer, c1911, J.B. Lippincott Company. It says, "a post-village of Fulton co., Ind. The banking point is Macy. Pop. 200." No idea what "post-village" or "banking point" mean. An Army post? There is a town called Macy in Miami Co., IN and Miami Co. borders on Fulton Co.

Have since been told that a post-village just means the village had a post office and banking point just means the nearest town with a bank.

Name

The photo on the profile had an inscription on the back by his daughter Lura referring to him as Will Edgerton. It's likely that is the name he usually went by.
