1889 History of Shelby (County, Iowa)
Garland Edwards, a native of Barren, now Metcalfe, County, KY, born 2-11-1821, is a son of William and Julia (Ferguson) Edwards, natives of VA. He was reared on a farm in his native state, and received his education in the subscription schools of those days. This was necessarily limited, but what was lacking in opportunity has been made up by nature in endowing her subject with a close, keen observation. Mr. Edwards was married 12-24-1845, to Miss Lucinda Piper, daughter of John and Jane Piper, natives of Virginia and SC respectively; Mrs. Edwards was born in Metcalfe Co, KY, 12-13-1825. They stayed in Metcalfe Co. for 5 years and then removed to Marion Co, IA, where they remained one year, and then to Jasper Co, where they resided until 1872. They then came to Shelby Co., settling on a homestead in Douglas Twp, which was reclaimed by the railroad. Mr. Edwards then purchased 300 acres of wild unimproved land; here he planted 4 acres of grove, erected a comfortable residence, barns for stock and grain, and made all the improvements necessary to a well-regulated farm. He and his wife experienced many hardships in their early life, but they faced them bravely, and today are reaping the reward. They are the parents of 3 children - Eliza, wife of William Wadkins of Highland Grove, Shelby Co., William and John, both living with their parents. In 1887 they moved from the old home farm to Section 36 Greeley Twp. Mr. Edwards and sons owns about 600 acres of Shelby Co.'s best soil. He has been township trustee, and affiliates with the Republican party. In the late civil war he enlisted with the 40th IA Volunteer Inf., Co. E, and served 14 months, and was discharged on account of disability.
