Notes: German was the son of William R.H. and Olive (Fairfield) Edwards. He was born September 25, 1870, in German Gulch, Deer Lodge Co., MT (LDS IGI). In the 1880 census, he was living with his parents in Deer Lodge, MT. Evidently the lure of greener (golder?) pastures took him to Colorado. He next ventured to Washington, then back to his home state of Montana.
