Edwin was a butcher by trade, working in various locations around southern NJ. For a while he had a business in Atlantic City. According to his daughter Alice, Edwin was a birthright Quaker. He married Caroline, a Methodist, and was "read out of the Meeting" by the Quakers. After Caroline died he married a widow named Francena Doane Worthington, who was a Quaker, again according to Alice. Second marriage took place in 1915. Francena is buried in Pennsylvania, as she outlived Edwin by nearly 30 years.
