Edgerton is excerpted from The
Centenial History of Oregon 1811-1912, Volume III (Chicago, Ill.: The
S.J. Clarke Publishing Co.; 1912; pg. 585): “…William A. and Mary Edgerton, the former a native of Vermont and the latter of Illinois. They were married, however, at Chicago, Illinois, and for a number of years the father was upon the road as a traveling salesman. He afterward embarked in business on his own account, opening a general store in Taylorville, which he conducted for several years. The opportunities of the far west, however, attracted him and in 1884 he came to the Pacific coast country, settling in Portland, Oregon, where he lived retired. In 1885 he removed to Clatskanie, where he resided until 1900, when he went to Yamhill, where he opened a store. He is still an active factor in the business world, being now proprietor of a large mercantile establishment at Longbeach, California. In 1877 he lost his first wife and has since been married again. By his first union there were six children, of whom three are deceased, while those living are: Mrs. M. E. Page, a resident of Clatskanie; Mrs. Nellie McClure, of the state of Washington; and Edward L. The only child of the father's second marriage was Agnes Edgerton, now deceased.
