Edward was born November 26, 1873 in Woodruff, Rich County, Utah, a son of Peter Cornia and Ruther Clarissa Carter Cornia. He was born in a little long house which his father built when they came to Woodruff to settle, as one of the original six families called to settle Woodruff.
When Edward was five years old the family moved to a ranch called "Eagle Springs" about four miles south of Woodruff. They had cows hich they herded in the summer; in winter, chores had to be done before going to school. Their school books consisted of an arthimetic, geography, grammar and reader. The school house was a log cabin and benches in it were homemade.
His clothing was two denim shirt without collars (one for Sunday and one for every day), a pair of overalls which were washed out for Sunday and one pair of shoes. The shoes had to last for one year, and if they happened to wear out before the spring, that child went barefoot until fall when new ones were bought. If snow came before the shoes did, they went barefoot in the snow.
He married Margaret Eve Cameron on June 24, 1897 in the Endowment House in Salt Lake. They built a two-room log cabin. Later Edward and Eve bought John Bryson's brick home for a trade of two teams of black horses, harnesses and a wagon.
The couple was never too busy to help a friend or neighbor, sharing what they had in sickness or health or joy or sorrow. Their motto was "Where there is heart room there is house room," and their parties were enjoyed by all.
Edward and Eve were the parents of seven children: Delceno, Edward Boyd, Cleo, Leoma, Clarissa, Peter Cameron and Nola.
Edward died September 13, 1944.
