 When Edwards was in high school in Marion, Indiana, he and his teammate, Lyndon Jones, led the Marion Giants to three consecutive state championships.
 The three-peat was known in Indiana as the "Purple Reign" referring to the schools colors of purple and gold.

The Edwards-Fowler House in Rocky Top, Tennessee was built between 1835 and 1838 on land given to Nicely Ross Edwards and husband Edward C. Edwards by Nicely's father, James Ross.
 Ross gave the couple 300 acre and several slaves, who provided labor to build the house, which has been called The Hemlocks after the two massive hemlock trees that grow in front of the house.
 The Edwards family owned the house from 1838 until about 1900 when the Fowler family, originally from Knoxville, Tennessee, bought the house.
 The house has remained structurally unchanged for over 175 years, making the Edwards Fowler house the oldest and only Federal-style house in Anderson County, Tennessee.
Mary Amelia Ingalls (January 10, 1865 – October 20, 1928) was born near the town of Pepin, Wisconsin.

Anna Belle Clement O'Brien (May 6, 1923 – August 31, 2009) was a Tennessee politician, nicknamed "the first lady of Tennessee politics."
 She served as the governor's chief of staff from 1963 to 1967, was a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives in the 89th General Assembly, from 1975 to 1977, and a Tennessee State Senator in the 90th to 96th General Assemblies, from 1977 to 1991.

Cleophus "Cid" Edwards, (born October 10, 1943 in Selma, Alabama – died April 6, 2013) was a graduate from Tennessee State University who played professional American football in the NFL from 1968 to 1975.
 Edwards, a running back, in his play for the San Diego Chargers, had one particularly good year, 1972, wherein the Chargers' offense largely consisted of lobbing screen passes to Edwards, who would rumble down field for much positive yardage.
 He is in a sense an obscure folk hero in Chargers lore.
Arthur W. Page was a vice president and director of AT&T from 1927 to 1947.
 He is sometimes referred to as "the father of corporate public relations" for his work at AT&T.
 The company was experiencing resistance from the public to its monopolization efforts.
 Page is said to have established a series of public relations heuristics generally referred to as the Page Principles.
 In fact, they were composed by Jack Koten, Larry Foster and Ed Block, founding members of the eponymous Arthur W. Page Society, which acknowledges that the Page Principles are derived from Mr. Page's works.
 No words or phrases from Mr. Page's writings appear in the principles and none of the Page Principles authors worked with or for Arthur Page.
 It is unclear if any knew or met Mr. Page or that a bibliography or notes survive.
As stated by Wilder in her books, Mr. Edwards was "the wildcat from Tennessee" whom the Ingalls met during their stay near Independence, Kansas in the "Little House on the Prairie" novel.
 They met for a short while also in "By the Shores of Silver Lake," when Mr. Edwards helps Pa file his claim during a sudden settlement rush, and in "The Long Winter," when he generously gives the now-blind Mary a $20.00 dollar bill.
