Catherine Bohannon was born in Barren county, Kentucky, November 24, 1841.
During the Civil War, she was married to Joseph A. Edwards, a young soldier whose term of enlistment had expired. He re-enlisted, however, and served until the close of the war.
A few years later along in the eighties they came to Laclede county and established a home on a farm in the Russ neighborhood. There they reared a family of eight children, one little daughter, Katie, passed away about forty years ago. All the others lived to be grown up men and women. Elbert Edwards, died about twelve years ago.
The husband died twenty-six years ago.
The surviving children are: L. N. Edwards and John T. Edwards, both of Lebanon; Mrs. Ella Coffrnan and Mrs. H. C. Coffinan, both of Russ; Mrs. W. C. Killer of Howard, Kansas; Mrs. G. L. Stovall of Quapaw, Oklahoma, and J. W. Edwards of Joplin.
There are twenty-eight grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren.
All the children came to Lebanon on Christmas to spend the day with their mother.
In the passing away of Mrs. Edwards the Russ community loses a woman whose quiet Christian life had much influence not only on her own family but on the other families near her home.
She was converted and joined the Old Rock Springs Baptist church in Kentucky when a young girl.
She held fast to her faith throughout all the trials and troubles as well as during the pleasant times of life.
When the Baptist church was organized at New Hope she was one of the charter members and has helped in every way to support it.
Mrs. Edwards was a kindhearted, courageous woman and her life was one of helpfulness and sacrifice.
Few women of today can realize the toil and privations that the pioneer women of the farm life
of fifty years ago had as their portion. Yet they met all conditions with a brave heart and in a manner that gave to their children the fortitude and encouragement to make them the leading men and women of the world today.
