Troy Times
August 8, 1867
EDWARDS, WILLIAM N. - On Saturday morning last, August 3d, William N. Edwards died. We have never witnessed in any community more genuine grief at the doings of Death than on this occasion. The loss appears to be felt in every family; indeed his long and faithful labors in the school room had almost made him a member of every family in Troy. While he was honored by all classes for his high moral character his sterling worth, his natural as well as acquired abilities, and his plain, unassuming ways, it was the long continued and intimate intercourse of the school room, that begat in pupils and parents a love for the man that was only fully known when they followed him to the grave. He was buried on Tuesday afternoon, after funeral services at the Franklin St. Presbyterian Church. Resolutions of respect to the memory of the deceased have been handed in, but as we presume that other bodies will also offer their tribute, we defer this week the publication of any, that all may be in the same issue of the paper.
