Edelen was born in 1827, in Marion County Kentucky, and is the son of Leonard and Susan (Bruce) Edelen; the former of Washington and the latter of Lincoln County, Kentucky. Leonard Edelen was among the leading men of Washington County, and for many years was occupied in merchandising. They were married, lived and died in Marion County, Kentucky. The subject of this sketch was raised and educated in his native county, being brought up in the mercantile channel from boyhood, consequently it came quite natural for him to enter life as a merchant. In 1841 he made his first venture and opened a general stock at Harrodsville, Kentucky, doing a good business there. In 1857 he sold out and turned his attention for the next four years to farming. At the breakin out of the late war in 1861 he again opened a store at Danville, Kentucky, and at one time was a large operator in whisky and cotton but through the dishonesty of his partner, lost heavily. In 1867 he moved to Jessamine County, Kentucky, and engaged in farming and the live stock business till moving to Cass County, Mo., in 1872. Mr. E. was united in marriage in 1852 to Miss Eveline B. McAfee, a native of Mercer County, Kentucky, and the youngest daughter of General Robert and Mary (Crocket) McAfee. Her father was lieutenant governor under Governor DeSha, and was in the senate and legislature for many terms. He was also minister to South America for four years under President Van Buren. Mr. and Mrs. Edelen have a family of six children living: Laura H. (wife of C. H. Moore), James M. (now in Califronia), Henry D., Lou Belle, Willie H. and Thomas Brown. They have lost two who died in infancy. They are both members of the Old School Presbyterian Church. Mr. E. now owns 100 acres of well improved land two and a half miles southwest of Belton. All this has been obtained since coming here as he left Kentucky without much means. Two acres of land are devoted to fruit. OBIT Friday March 26, 1897 Page 3, Col. 1 DEATH OF W. B.

A few years ago he sold his farm to his son-in-law Jas. H. Young and moved to town. Mr. Edelen was married to Miss Eveline B. McAfee, of Mercer county Kentucky, in 1852.
