From History of Seattle from the earliest settlers to the present time, v 3, by Clarence Bagley (Chicago: The S J Clarke Publishing Co):
Dr. Orange Edwards, who dates his residence in Seattle from July, 1900, since which time he has been actively engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery in this city, was born August 17, 1870, in Brown county, Ohio.
The ancestry of the family can be traced back to Robert Edwards, who was the founder of the American branch and was born in Scotland. Leaving the land of the hills and heather, he came to the new world when a young man, receiving from King George III a land grant, now in the heart of New York City, which was to continue with undisputed ownership until 1890. Robert Edwards lived
to a very remarkable old age.
George Edwards, son of Robert Edwards, was a soldier and officer in the War of 1812 and also served as a member of the legislature during territorial days.
John B. Edwards, father of Dr. Edwards, was born in Ohio and devoted his life to agricultural pursuits, in which he was quite successful. He was also very active in local affairs and a stanch republican. He died in the spring of 1913 at the age of seventy-seven years. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Caroline Wright, was also a native of Ohio and represented one of the old families of the Buckeye state.
Dr. Edwards, who was the fourth in order of birth in a family of five sons, pursued his early education in the public and high schools of Russellville, Ohio, until he completed the course by graduation.
He afterward entered the Ohio Northern University, which conferred upon him the Bachelor of Science degree upon his graduation with the class of 1895.
His early life was spent upon the farm with the usual experiences that come to the farm lad and following the completion of his college course he took up the profession of teaching in his native county, devoting three years to that work. He regarded this, however,
merely as an initial step to other professional labor and entered upon the study of medicine in the Medical College of Ohio at the Cincinnati University, completing his course with the class of 1898.
Immediately afterward he entered upon practice at Paxton, Illinois, where he remained for two years, and in July, 1900, he came to Seattle.
Passing the required state examination, he has since continued in general practice, but in the meantime, ambitious to achieve the highest efficiency possible in his chosen calling, he took post-graduate work in the New York Polyclinic in 1899. He remains a close, earnest and discriminating student of the profession and keeps abreast with modern scientific investigation and research.
In October, 1899, Dr. Edwards was united in marriage at Russellville, Ohio, to Miss Eva Blanche Miller, a daughter of Johnson Miller and a native of Ohio, representing an old and prominent family of the Buckeye state. Dr. and Mrs. Edwards have one daughter, Evangeline, who was born in Seattle, August 7, 1901. The family reside at No. 616 First Avenue North, and theirs is a hospitable home, its good cheer being greatly enjoyed by their many friends.
Both Dr. and Mrs. Edwards hold membership in the Bethany Presbyterian church and they are highly esteemed wherever known. Fraternally he is connected with the Knights of Pythias, while along strictly professional lines he is connected with the King County, the Washington State and the American Medical Associations.
Aside from his private practice, which is now large and important, he has been chief examiner for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company since September, 1901. For fifteen years he has been a resident of Seattle and throughout the entire period has made steady progress in his profession, his increasing ability and his conscientious service gaining him high rank.
Northwest Medical, v XIX, Jan-Dec 1920, p 19:
Dr. Orange Edwards, of Seattle, has returned to private practice after a year and a half of service with the army and eight months with U. S. Public Health Service.
He was the son of John Brown Edwards and Caroline Howland Edwards of Brown County, Ohio.
He was the grandson of George Edwards and Susannah Downing Edwards.
He was the great-grandson of Darius Edwards and Jane Geeslin.
He was the 2-great-grandson of George Edwards and Susannah Downing Edwards.
