Death of R. S. G. Edwards

Prominent Silver Salesman Passes Away at His Home in the Bronx

Members of the silver trade were grieved to learn last week of the death of R. S. G. Edwards, for many years one of the prominent salesmen of the Middle West and known to jewelers all over the country. Mr. Edwards passed away Saturday, April 28, at his home, 451 E. 239th St., the Bronx, New York, and services were held at his late residence Monday, April 30, the interment taking place May 1.

Mr. Edwards, who was in his 50th year, had been connected with the silver business all his life. As a boy, he became employed with the Whiting Mfg. Co., in January, 1893, and remained with that concern until the control was taken over by the Gorham interests, since which time, he had represented the Gorham Co., with the Gorham lines. He continued as traveling salesman through the Central States until his health made it imperative that he stop, since which time he had been connected with the Gorham Co., at the New York office, 2 W. 47th St., as one of the floor salesmen. He had suffered from asthma for a number of years but remained on duty until about two weeks before his death.

Deceased was popular in the trade and had a wide circle of acquaintances. He was also prominent in Masonic circles, being a life member of Gavel Lodge, 703 F. and A. M. and also a member of Ivy Chapter 238, R. A. M. of New York, Constantine Commandery, 48 K. T., and of Mecca Temple A. A. O. N. M. S. of New York.
