Sorry -- I just found a better citation for his birth date than the one I based my original correction on. You can find it here:

"Rhode Island, Births and Christenings, 1600-1914," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F892-B96 : accessed 20 Jun 2014), Edgar Fowler Ballou, 21 Aug 1856; citing Globe Village, Rhode Island, reference p 102; FHL microfilm 959590.

He was born on 21 August 1856 in Globe Village, Rhode Island, to Sullivan and Sarah Ballou.

Apparently Edgar is buried separately from his wife. FOR LOVE & LIBERTY, The Untold Civil War Story of Major Sullivan Ballou & his Famous Love Letter, by Robin Young, 2006, p. 778 (Sullivan was Edgar's father) states that "Edgar was buried in an oasis of calm and green, the cemetery adjoining the grounds of the Episcopal Church of Our Savior..." He died in 1924 at the age of 68, from "acute intestinal trouble."
The cemetery is listed in Findagrave as: Church of Our Saviour; San Gabriel, Los Angeles County, California, USA but there are only 5 interments listed there so far, and Edgar's is not listed.
Also, p. 102 of this same text lists Edgar's date of birth as Aug. 21, 1856.
When you get a chance, please update his memorial to reflect this information about the cemetery & birthdate.
Thanks!
