His death occurred in 1895 but the mother survived until 1908. Edward E.

After his school days he learned the jewelry trade and for the past seventeen years he has been associated with the C. F. Dunbar Jewelry Company. He has been very active in Democratic politics and since 1908 has served as secretary of the Marathon County Democratic Executive Committee. In the fall of 1910 he was elected coroner of Marathon County.
