Seems having more than one wife at a time is a crime he thought he could get away with.






I also found some document for the Northern Pacific Railroad he was employed for.

I am only posting 3 of them I found over 30 documents.





Edgar died 30 Mar 1984 in Portland, OR




Looks like Edgar got his life together towards the end and with wife # 5.


This was a record I found for a car registration 

Name:Edgar Jenkins

I also googled the kind of car and here a photo of one like he might of had.


Pretty good taste if you ask me!

  1. I bet some of the info in the Obit is not correct, especially about his military service. I'm sure he spun quite the tale for his 5th wife.
