Edgar A. Moorehead, 86, died Tuesday (June 5, 2012) at his home in Kennesaw, with his loving wife and daughter at his side.
"Ed," as he was known to his friends, or "Judge" as many still referred to him, was born on Nov. 22, 1925, on North Tenth Street in Cambridge, Ohio. He was the son of T. Stanley Moorehead and Flosse Stokley Moorehead. He met Nancy Sue McKinney when she moved to Cambridge as a nurse, and they were married Sept. 28, 1957.
Mr. Moorehead was a 1941 graduate of Brown (Cambridge) High School, a 1949 graduate of Denison University. In 1951, he received his Bachelor of Laws from (Case) Western Reserve University. Ed's college years included three years in World War II, where he served as an aerial gunner on a B-17 Bomber in the European Theatre. Ed returned home to Cambridge after his graduation from law school where he worked for the law firm of DeSelm and Moore before being elected to four six year terms as judge in the Court of Common Pleas, Probate and Juvenile Division, Guernsey County, Cambridge Ohio. During those 24 years, Ed was involved in various civic organizations including past president of Cambridge Rotary, Board of Directors Guernsey Memorial Hospital and recipient of Jaycees Distinguished Service Award.
After retirement, Ed and Nancy moved to Naples, Fla., where they enjoyed 25 years of fishing, golfing and good friends.
He was preceded in death by his sister, Marjorie Denny; and brother, Robert S. "Bob" Moorehead.
He is survived by wife, Nancy Moorehead, Kennesaw; brother, John (Jack) Moorehead of Granville, Ohio; brother-in-law, James (Betty) McKinney Crooksville, Ohio; and sister-in-law, Virginia Kenney Zanesville, Ohio. He is also survived by his son, Tom Moorehead of Columbus, Ohio; and daughter, Molly (John) Golemo of Acworth; grandchildren, Amy Golemo and Ryan Golemo, both of Acworth; and many nieces and nephews.
There will not be any services at this time. A memorial will take place in Cambridge later in the year.
