Edwin Lycurgus Westover

Edwin Lycurgus Westover married Joanna Matilda Erickson April 27, 1875. They had two children, Laura Matilda Westover in 1875 and Edwin Swen Westover in 1877. Sadly, Edwin died November 6, 1877, but before he died, he asked his friend, Henry Despain, to marry Joanna and raise a large family in his Westover name. Joanna married Henry Waters Despain April 24, 1879, and John Lycurgus Westover was the first of seven children of Henry and Joanna. She never used the name Despain.

There is a photo of Edwin under the Media Tab above, which was found on Find A Grave.com. The above information is also from Find A Grave and was shown on Joanna's page there but strangely not on Edwin's page.
