CHESTER EDGERTON.  Mr. Edgerton was born in Pawlet, Vermont, in 1819, and came to Ohio in 1844, soon after which he became a partner with Brice J. Bartlett and John L. Greene, Sr., in the practice of the law, giving, however, special attention to the collection branch, which was in those days a prominent part of legal business, and in which he was very successful.
     In 1845 he married Augusta F. Fusselman, who was born in 1826.  There were born of this marriage six children, three sons, namely, Frank, Chester and Harry G., and three daughters, Hattie (Edgerton) Kinney; Maude (Edgerton) Garvin, Fanny A.,  who died in 1879.
     In the sixties he retired from the law and engaged in the lumber and planing-mill business in Fremont, with his brother, Gilbert Edgerton, under the firm name of Edgerton Bros., in which by fair dealing and attention to the business he acquired a comfortable fortune, which he with Mr. Edgerton lived to enjoy in later years, mostly at their fine old suburban home a mile west of Fremont, where they died at a good old age, highly respected by all.  Their son Dr. H. G. Edgerton now owns and occupies the same as his family home, known as Edgerton Place.
