Uncle Richard was born in November 1900 to Benjamin Franklin Edmund's and Ada Christine Wilkins Edmund's. Uncle Richard had 9 siblings, 4 brothers and 5 sisters. Somewhere along the way half of the siblings including Richard changed the spelling of their last name from (Edmund's) to (Edmond's). Uncle Richard was a veteran of WW1. After the service he moved with some of the family to Detroit Mi. He married his wife Bernice Grumpp in 1928, and worked for the auto industry as a trimmer. He worked other jobs before and after, moving in the late 40's to Las Vegas Nevada where he worked for the Union Pacific Railroad as a brakeman. There was an accident and he fell from the train rendering him disabled the rest of his life. His wife of over 62 years passed away from a stroke in Nov 1990. Their home was at the end of the Las Vegas strip back in the day with lots of land. Later when he was in his 70's he sold a lot of his land to a cemetery that was built across the street from his home and where he and Aunt Bernice are interred. His end of life is a tragic story. He remained in his home until that awful day in 1991 a year after his wife passed, He refused to leave his home and wanted to live there until he died. He had 2 nephews who looked in on him and made sure he had what he needed. At age 91 Richard was murdered by an escaped convict who killed a couple of vacationers in California during his escape from a prison in the Midwest. After killing this couple he stole their motor home and money and drove to Las Vegas. My uncle being legally blind and disabled opened the door to this murderer and was shot killing him instantly so the murderer could rob his house. It was found out later that this murderer was casing my uncles house for several days with the intent to kill and rob him because he had nothing more to lose. He was caught and was put back in prison. I will always hold dear the good and cherished memories of my Uncle Richard and Aunt Bernice.
