Frederick got married in 1902 to Flora Hanson (1873-1912). They had the following children.
David W Edwards
1900–
Arthur F Edwards
1904–
Robert C Edwards
1906–
Florence A Edwards
1907–
I found no other information on Daisy or Edward. Frederick W Edwards died 8 Jan 1934 in Alameda County, CA.
I would imagine she wrote to Edward while they were locked up, probably something like this.
Secular Poem "Love's Image" by Elaine Goodale. In the 1870s.
The ending of this story would of been so much more interesting if I would found a marriage records for the two. I did find one record that might be Daisy.
