Although there is no marked grave for him in Lind Cemetery, his death certificate also states that he was buried there. There is an occupied plot next to William Brummit, Elizabeth's first husband, that has no name, just the notation that the grave is occupied. This may very well be Edgar Springer's burial place in the Lind Cemetery. W. C. Brumitt (or Brummett) was a drayman in Lind, Washington. According to a news account he died as the result of a wound received in a shoot-out with W. J. Studivan, the city marshall, on May 23, 1904, in Verdenis and Fry's saloon in Lind.
Another short article pertaining to Edgar Springer appeared in The Washington State Journal and Adams County News on September 18, 1907. This article reports: " Lind--The remains of C. D. Gillispie were shipped to his home at Hicksville, Ohio, last Wednesday night, for interment. They were accompanied by Ed Springer".
Edgar Springer was the youngest son and next to the youngest child of the Reverend James Dobbins Springer and Nancy Elizabeth Morris. His paternal grandparents were Elijah Wilburn Springer and Jane Hillhouse and his maternal grandparents were Jordan A. Morris and Mary Ann Button. Edgar was born in Lawrence County, Missouri. His father was a farmer and a minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
In the 1910 census Edgar Springer was residing in the boarding house operated by Elizabeth Brummet. He was registered as the proprietor of a dray line and he apparently employed John Purtell, who also lived in the same boarding house, as a teamster. Edgar married Elizabeth (John) Brummet on February 29, 1912, in Lind. Elizabeth (Lizzie) and William Brummit were parents of one daughter, Fay, born in Missouri in May, 1900. There is no record of any children for Ed and Lizzie Springer.
