The following obituary notice for Loami Edgerton was published in the Boonville Herald on April 19, 1907 (transcription courtesy of Ms. Linda Glover):

 

“WITH THOSE WHO MOURN…Friday evening, April 17 [sic], at his home near Leyden Station occured the death of Loami Edgerton at the age of 58 years. Mr. Edgerton had been in poor health for a number of years and appeared no worse than usual until about a week before his death.  The immediate cause of death was appendicitis. An operation was to have been performed by Dr. F. J. Douglas of Utica, assisted by Drs. Bartlett and Perry of this village, but he expired before this could be done.  Loami Edgerton was born January 11, 1849 in Jefferson county and was a son of Daniel and Sophronia Johnson Edgerton and with his parents went to Leyden Station when about two years of age.  When a young man he went to Iowa to reside and while there married Miss Mina Roath. Upon the death of his wife he returned to Leyden Station where he had since resided.  He is survived by his mother, one daughter, Mabel Edgerton of Leyden Station; three sisters, Mrs. E. J. Talcott and Mrs. Orville Hall of Boonville and Mrs. D. Daniels of Leyden Station. The funeral was held Sunday at 1 pm from his late home, Rev T Jessup officiating.  Interment was made in Talcottville Cemetery.”
