A sea Captain, sever and harsh, who loaded his vessels to the limit, and drove them through gale or calm.” He was a man of remarkable mental and physical ability, as is shown by the following anecdotes:
This was related by his brother Elbridge. When in school he failed to learn his geometry lesson and was reproved. On the second day he failed and was threatened with a beating. On the third day he learned everything in the book, from cover to cover.
His son was an eyewitness to the following: One day while loading his vessel with bailed cotton, a bale became jammed below the hatchway. The longshoremen failed to remove it. Edwin became impatient, stepped to the corner of the hatch, grasped the rope attached to the bale, and lifted it bodily from its position. Weight of the bale, 1800 pounds.
His large size is shown by this: One day while his sons, Horace weighing 160 pounds, and his brother 140, were at home they found a shirt which had been worn by their father. They both got inside the shirt and were able to turn around easily.
In the fall of 1867, while in command of the brig “Sarah” of which he was chief owner, and his brother George was mate, the vessel was struck by a cyclone and tidal wave, and went down instantly, with all on board, off the Island of St. Thomas. Neither his physical strength, his mental abilities, nor his daring were of any avail against such a calamity.429
