He married Frances "Fannie" Bohler on August 23, 1905 at Shreveport, Caddo Parish, LA, First Methodist Church. They had two sons; Edgar Jr. and Francis Leon who died in infancy.
Uncle Ed was remembered by his family as a strong 200 pound man with a jolly laugh. All the kids loved him, as he humored them to no end. He bought his first car, a 7 passenger Chandler in 1919. (source: J.C. Nesbett 1960) He worked for the Kansas City Southern Railroad as an engineer. While oiling his locomotive at Lake Charles, LA in 1934, Edgar had a heart attack and died by the side of his engine. (Source: Edgar N. Carleton Jr. 1997)
