Orim L. Edgerton was born at Hinckley, Ohio on July 21, 1861, the eldest son of Levi George Edgerton and his first wife, Fidelia A. Longfellow. Orim’s mother died when he was four years old and Orim was subsequently raised by his father’s second wife, Susan Elizabeth (Longfellow) Edgerton, who was also Orim’s aunt.

Orim’s father removed to Akron, Summit County, Ohio sometime circa 1870 – 1880 and Orim was married there on March 2, 1882 to Tillie J. Illes, daughter of George and Ellen (Filley) Illes of Akron. Family records provided by Nancy Luther report that Orim and Tillie Edgerton had four children: one son, George S.; and three daughters, Mattie J., Mary F. and Ora Georgia. Apparently, all but the youngest of these (Ora) died in infancy. Ora was married to Robert James Gliem and resided in Wooster and Fulton, Ohio.
