  Edward became a maritime engineer and spent World War I as a steamship inspector. He married Estelle Grace Edwardsthe day before the Volstead Act went into effect. The ceremony was only slightly marred by a lodge brother of Edward's, who had been celebrating the coming of Prohibition rather heavily and who was under the impression that he was attending a Masonic funeral, intoning, "So mote it be" at suitable occasions. They lived in San Francisco for several years. Edward's activities were curtailed by Parkinson's disease which forced him to quit his maritime engineering work. He ran a marine machine shop for several years after that. They moved to Los Gatos in the 1930s. Estelle taught sixth grade at Los Gatos Elementary School.
