1902 - James Dugan, his father, died it is believed, on September 5, which was Edward's birthday. He was a teenager, and after the death of his father he boxed in order to help take care of his family. He did not want his mother to know this, so he boxed under an assumed name.
1917c - Married Frances McCormick [MacCormack], daughter of Dennis McCormick and Honorè Day. Father of Honorè Jane [Nora] Dugan Wilcox, and Mary Veronica [Ronnie] Dugan Dauth.
1920 - Philadelphia Census, Edward Dugan with wife Frances Dugan, two daughters, Nora 2, Mary 8 months. Edward states father b. England, mother b. Ireland. Frances states she is b. in WV, father born VA, mother b. KY.
1920 - 1922 - Sometime in this time period their marriage broke up.

For years he had his own pretzel cart on the streets of Philadelphia. On one of the family trips back there, his daughter and grandchildren surprised him by walking up and asking for a pretzel. The look on his face when he recognized them was priceless.
One of the stories he liked to tell is how when he was either in his 70's or close to it, three thugs attacked him and tried to rob him. He knocked down two of them and the third ran away. He felt his boxing skills saved him from injury. They were probably very surprised that an "old man" defended himself.
