The following obituary for Godfrey Cadwalader Edgerton was published in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on March 27, 2004:

“Godfrey ‘Dutch’ Edgerton of Manhattan passed away at his home March 19, 2004.

Dutch was born Oct. 14, 1909, in Scarsdale, N.Y. After helping his family through the Depression, Dutch became a postal carrier. In September 1942 he joined the Army and served in World War II with the 457th Heavy Bomb Group in England, where he flew 25 missions as a ball turret gunner. He enjoyed England, Scotland and Wales where he made some lifelong friends. After the war, he returned to civilian life and his career with the postal service.

He married Margaret Lane in 1948. They had two children and 55 happy years together. Dutch and Marjie moved to Manhattan in 1984, and enjoyed touring Montana and Yellowstone National Park by car. Dutch was a proud member of the Sons of the American Revolution and the National Association of Letter Carriers.

He is survived by his wife, Marjie; his daughter Pat (Bill) of Leeds, Maine; son, Doug (Maureen) of West Yellowstone; along with his grandchildren, Heather, Leah, and Clare. He also leaves behind many friends from a lifetime of friendliness and helpfulness to all he encountered. He will be dearly missed.

Cremation has taken place, and no services are planned.”
