• Notes

  He is identified as William Drewlinger in a family photo taken around 1902 of his father and siblings. He is identified herein as William Edward Drewlinger, however it is possible his true name order may be Edward William Drewlinger. Hopefully, conclusive evidence will soon surface that provides his true birth name order. Note: For whatever reason, Edward's surname on his headstone is spelled 'Dreulinger' versus 'Drewlinger' which is the predominate spelling for his branch of the family.
