Edwards - Hi
Source: Crawfordsville Star, May 31, 1877 p 1
It is asserted that one "Hi" Edwards, a man well known as an ordinary farmer, living a few miles south of the city and who makes the bigger part of his living by the sale of fire wood, has lately received legal information that he is co-heir with some half-dozen other individuals to an estate consisting of New York city property, amounting to $2,500,000. Mr. E. says, rather than go to a lengthy process of law, he will compromise on a half of his lawful share and thinks that would do "purty well."
