(There was another Hezekiah Edwards but I don't know anything about him.) Uncle Hez was a son of Joseph Edwards and Mary Miller. He married Eunice Almira Myers in 1875. They had no children of their own, but they raised her grandnephew as their own son -- Frank B. Shire. Uncle Frank was my husband's uncle. Frank Shire and his wife are buried next to Hezekiah and Almira in the Old Fort cemetery. Uncle Hez was quite an amusing character and also collected every scrap of paper that ever crossed his path. My husband's cousin has a huge box of stuff she inherited from Uncle Frank Shire that contains literally ALL of Hezekiah Edwards' personal papers, down to the last little receipt for kerosene from the local general store. One of these days I'm going to visit her again and go through that box with a fine-toothed comb, if she hasn't gotten rid of it by now. My husband always heard that "Uncle Hez ate his dessert first and put his mashed potatoes in his coffee."
