Jennifer,
I don't have info re the deaths, since I've not lived in Knox for a zillion
years, but it sounds to me as if you're talking about Ware Edgar and his
wife, not Edgar Waer. They were well-known Knox-ites, die-hard Democrats,
and publishers/editors of the Starke County Democrat (a weekly newspaper)
for many, many years. It will be rather easy for you to gather info on them,
if it's the Edgar's you're really searching out. Good luck.
Morris Fletcher
