Hiram W. and Catherine C. (Wells) welcomed Edward. Hiram was a farmer and part-time Seventh Day Baptist pastor, born June 24, 1819 and a New York native. Hiram became a Seventh-day Adventist and spent his last 29 years preaching in Cottage Grove, OR. Catherine was born in 1826 and died in Oregon also. Hiram and Catherine had a large family; in addition to Edward H., their children included
Emergene (deceased by 1917)
Morton a farmer in Oregon
Eloise married and in Oregon
Twins Adel and Astel (both deceased by 1917)
Edward completed school in Wisconsin and entered the Union army, 3rd WIS VOL CAL CO D. He was later transferred to CO I. His main assignment was fighting Quantrell's guerillas in MO and KS. Other battles he fought in include Newtonia, Lexington, Independence and Westport, MO. He was mustered out on September 25, 1865.
In 1866, he joined his parents in moving to New Auburn, MN and stayed 30 years. He married Emily Burdick on May 7, 1870, a Niagara County, NY native born July 18, 1852. Her parents were NY natives Benjamin F and Antoinette (Kinney) a schoolteacher who had moved to Sibley county in 1865 and died there in 1874. Emily was one of four siblings:
Emily, Charles died at age 33, Edwin lived in NY, and
Mrs A Babcock died in 1880.
In the 1900 Census, Edward's occupation is listed as "contractor." I read in the unpublished book compiled by his grandson, C. Merton Babcock, "Saturday's Children," that he moved houses for an occupation.
Edward and Emily had 5 children:
William 1871-1873
Inez 1874 married Charles E Tucker, a former school teacher of Hutchinson had two children (died at a young age)

In their old age, they purchased a home in Redfield, SD near Plainview Academy which was next door to their son, Charles. In 2018 this home was still standing.
