Edd was a miner all his life. He also had a farm and farmed cattle in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia. Amazingly, he was also a barber and maintained a barber shop in his home. He was a deacon and devoted member of the Woodlawn (Monorat) Church of God. Edd had a great sense of humor. Every Sunday afternoon called for a nap. Each night he read his bible. One of the fondest memories the family has of Edd was of him witnessing with the bible in hand. He had a love of the outdoors, the land, the mountains, and valued his enviornment.
