Floreda: 1) Contact the funeral home. If they're no longer in business, your county genealogy society may have a copy or an abstract of their records. 2) Contact the cemetery superintendent. 3) Put a query on Quick mailing list and Quick genforum. I am a Quick descendant, but no Edward. Your Edward may have been born in Ellenville area.
