Edwin Favel Brewster left the family farm at Coventry, Tolland County, Connecticut at the age of 19. He married Ruth Gleason in 1844 at Kendall Illinois. Ruth died in childbirth (a son, John, who also died) in 1861, leaving Edwin with eight living children, the oldest being Edwin Burr Brewster, who was 16. The youngest was three years old.
Edwin married again, in about 1862, to Cordelia N Carpenter, Edwin and Cordelia had two sons.
Edwin's third marriage was to Mrs Mary Van Houton, performed by J M Cassel, 'Minister,' in August of either 1872 or 1873. No children were born from this marriage.
Sometime in the 1880's, apparently Edwin and his brother, Augustus, went to California, and settled in San Bernardino. He still resided there in 1905.
He spent the end of his life in his daughter Emma Caroline (Brewster) Martin's home in Missouri. He died there in 1911. Funeral services were held in Missouri; then the body was taken back to Mazon, Grundy County, Illinois, where he was buried beside his first wife, Ruth, and their son, John.
