Edward was one of nine children, one died when about two. Edward is a man of many names. He uses the name Roy but to most he is known as "Stub". He has been called "Stub" as long as he can remember and he thinks it is because as a child he was as wide as he was tall. On December 29, 1919, he married Pearl Drake, daughter of Ed and Maude Drake. They moved three miles west of Belvue but a few years later moved back to home country, seven miles northwest of Belvue.
