John Newman Edwards [Parents] was born on 4 Jan 1839 in Warren Co., VA. He died on 4 May 1889 in McCarty House, Jefferson City, MO and was buried on 6 May 1889 in Dover Cemetery, Dover, Lafayette Co., MO. John married Mary Virginia "Jennie" Plattenburg on 28 Mar 1871 in Near Aullville, Lafayette Co., MO.
Maj. John N. Edwards was born in Virginia about fifty-one years ago. His parents moved to Lexington, Mo., when he was of tender age. He received a common school education and afterward learned the printing trade in an office at Lexington. At the commencement of the Civil War he enlisted in the Confederate army and belonged to Gen. Jo. O. Shelby's command. He was promoted time and again for skill and personal bravery, and won his military titles in the most honorable manner possible. He was engaged in more than fifty battles and skirmishes, and was severely wounded on more than one occasion. As the war drew to a close he followed Shelby and Price to Texas, and about the time peace was declared a small fragment of Shelby's command, known as the "Iron Brigade," sank the flag-the blood-stained flag which they had carried through the war-in the Rio Grande River, crossed the line into Mexico, and for thirteen months served in the French army. Later, Major Edwards returned to Missouri and published several books, one relating to the border warfare in Missouri, Texas and Arkansas, another entitled "Shelby and his Men." He soon after engaged in newspaper editorial work, first in St. Louis, next in Sedalia, then in St. Joseph and Kansas City, respectively. He was for a time editor of the Dispatch and Times in St. Louis, edited the Sedalia Democrat and Dispatch, later the St. Joseph Gazette, and at the time of his death was editor of the Kansas City Times. No writer in the West was better known than Major Edwards. He followed no man. Every idea he advanced was original, and every thought he expressed in. print was copied far and wide. He had no superior in the newspaper field and but few peers. He was honest and fearless, and never published a line in public prints which he did not believe to be the truth, and for which he would not answer personally at all times. We, representatives of the western press, recognize in his death an irreparable loss. He was brave and generous in war, and fearless and honest in civil life, and liberal to a fault-an affectionate husband and a kind father. We believe that his death has left a vacancy in Missouri journalism that can never be filled. His death is a calamity to the press of the State. As an original writer and conscientious literary man, he never had a superior. He was brave and magnanimous in health, and fearless and resigned when the final summons came. Resolutions can not express our opinion of his ability and fearlessness. He lived the life of a patriotic American, and died the death of a brave, conscientious newspaper man.

He wrote articles about the James gang, and upon the death of Jesse James wrote "Tear the two bears from the flag of Missouri. Put thereon, in place of them, as more appropriate, a thief blowing out the brains of an unarmed victim, and a brazened harlot, naked to the waist and splashed to the brows in blood." During the Civil War, he was wounded at Hartsville, Helena, and Cape Girardeau. Upon his death in Jefferson City Missouri, a railroad donated a train take to transport the body of Edwards, his wife and daughter, back to the wifes home town of Dover, Missouri. John Newman Edwards is buried beside his wife Mary Virginia Edwards in the Dover Cemetery.

"The Lexington Intelligencer", Lexington, MO, 18 May 1889:
Major John N. Edwards:--The press of the state has given voice to the sorrow felt at the death of this accomplished journalist and elegant writer of his mother tongue. It is not to late for a friend whose friendship was born amid the messenger of death to place a chapter on the tomb of one who though gone from sight, can never be forgotten. He was the writer all that was noble and true in manhood, and his memory will be cherished until the hand now penning this tribute shall alike be cold in death. How sudden it all came. I had just written a letter to him introducing a young relation, when the sad dispatch came to me in my cottage home, in the Wayne county hills, (painfully to late to attend his funeral). It struck at my heart like the full thud of a trip hammer, deadening sensation. Comparatively so young, so fearless, so magnanimous, so warm-hearted, with the esteem of all and the love of those who truly knew him, Major Edwards without premonition is called from this bright and beautiful world, which to us seems less beautiful than before. To the writer there is an empty chair that can never be filled. I knew him well, knew him thoroughly; in tinted fields, in the march, in battle, in bivouac, in foreign lands, in business life, in the home circle, everywhere he was to me the same good noble man. He was to me the ideal man, and out side of kindred blood, the dearest friend I had on earth. When that sad dispatch from a warm friend of his announced his death, tears would start from the promptings of a heart that loved him, "with a love that passeth show," and not a line can be written or a syllable spoken in his praise that is undeserved. As a soldier he was brave, faithful and true; as an editor was original, trenchant, fearless and honest; as an author picturesque, vivid, and with a style both fascinating and dramatic. You can hear the roll of drums, the tread of marching squadrons, the bugle call and the sound of battle in his books, pathos, energy and vigorous description combined with the play of humor in his writing. His admiration for woman, his knightly courtesy, his kind heart, his honesty of purpose, his entire lack of deceit endeared him to all. He did not "count the cost" when he would favor a friend; he let the heart speak rather than the cold dictation of the brain. His death is a loss to journalism and to the lime of southern authors of which he was an ornament; to his family, to whom he was so affectionate and kind; to the needy and distressed to whom his charity was unbounded, and to the still lingering remains of the old confederate soldiers whose appeals to him for aid were never made in vain. The memory of battlefields, of wind and rain, of snow and storm, or roar of cannon and the sharp fire of musketry is a dream long past. The lone vigils, the weary marches, the retreat into Mexico, and the valley camp beneath Orizaba's snow-clad summit are all like visions of the night, but to the humble writer the character of John N. Edwards is an ever present living personality, the earth is darker since he left it, and immortality becomes more certain since he has entered upon its unending cycle. The intellect dies not, and his genius in eternal realms yet exercises an influence on earth. Although far from his place of burial, far from old associations in Lafayette county, that garden of the state, yet the writer of this will ever consider it one of the rarest privileges to have known John N. Edwards and been his friend in life and his admirer with all the sincerity of tried affection. To his grave in old Lafayette may all who revere true hearts and nobility of soul, turn as to Mecca whereon to renew their vows of fidelity, love of home, country, honor, truth, purity and friendship.(Other sources:
