h/o Georgia Sue Wood.
Birth: 1st of five known children in Sangamon county, Illinois.
Edgar was assistant postmaster for his father in Carthage (1890-1894) under President Benjamin Harrison when he married Georgia Sue Wood daughter of Thomas Kennerly "TK" Wood in father's south Grant street home where they lived the first winter. Edgar worked the Ground & Irwin mines. It was his father-in-law, "TK", who built the new Carthage Post Office building, with Carthage stone, at Third and Maple streets around 1909.
Their last home was on the Victorian Home Tour: The Tower House - 1321 S Main street - Italianate built in 1880 by W. Scott Tower who engaged in real estate speculation and founded the Carthage Brewery. He admired the wealthy banker next door and tried to copy his house. Lacking Goucher's finances, he used wood instead of brick and omitted round-headed windows and other details. Still, it remains one of Carthage's fine homes.
Edgar H Irwin served as cashier at the Carthage Foundry during that period which Judge Elijah W Barnes owned it following ownership by William McMillan.
Newspaper stories in Mornin' Mail archives:
1898: "Ed Irwin, who is now at Duenweg as one of the managers of the Ground & Irwin mines, was taken quite sick Monday night of appendicitis. His wife and father were with him yesterday and his mother went down this morning. Dr. Coe was called from Carthage today to assist the local physicians in waiting on him. A telephone message at 3 o'clock this afternoon says he is slightly better."
1898: "The Ground & Irwin mines at Duenweg, 6 miles east of Joplin, have been paying the owners about $500 per day for more than a year. How's that for a good thing."
Edgar then became assistant secretary of the Covenant Mutual Life Insurance Company in Saint Louis, Missouri where they moved for a period of time. They returned to Carthage and made home at 1321 S. Main street, buying The Tower House - Italianate built in 1880 which remains one of Carthage's fine homes, next door to father Thomas K. Irwin and across street from her uncle, George Brown Wood, with the trolley tracks down middle of street leading downtown, Lakeside Park, Webb City, or Joplin area until mid-30's.
