Notes

Mr. Silas Edwards resided at Owen Sound c. 1955.
In 1937, his name was included on a Kilsyth W. I. name quilt, so he appears to have a connection somehow to North Derby, Grey County, south of Owen Sound.

The book PRESERVING THE PEACE: A HISTORY OF THE OWEN SOUND POLICE FORCE, 1990, p. 69 has a group photograph of the Owen Sound Police Force c. 1928, and it includes Silas Edwards in uniform. Silas H. Edwards was chosed to fill a constable vacancy in July, 1927. Earlier that year, a new police vehicle was acquired for the Owen Sound Police to use, a 1926 model Dodge sedan.
