This is not my Edgar family, this info is from notes that I have gathered on Edgar/Edger families:
"Sarah Ann Housemann, Sept. 8,1948, was born near Mt.Pleasant,Iowa and was married on Feb.25,1869 to Thomas Edger(Oct.17,1846-1886). To them were born 8 children. Sarah Edger was married on July 6,1902 to Charles Percie Walker(1842-1922), no children. Sarah Walker has been blind over forty years. Her husband, Thomas Edger, was killed in a farm accident and a black veil, used at his funeral, poisoned her eyes, causing her to lose her sight after several months of suffering. She lives with her granddaughter,Mildred B. Wilson, in Gulport, Miss., and is described as a "sweet, patient old lady."
