Narrative
The only source I have for Edgar is the notes from the files of Jane Anne Thomas; in the handwritten notebook on the Bayha line, she has only his birthdate noted. He is not listed in the family's household in the 1910 US Census, after the death of his father and when he would have been only fifteen. If he does exist and was connected to the Bayha-Myers family, I wonder if he either struck out on his own by 1910 or had died prior to that year's census.
One of the publicly-available Ancestry.com trees (found during a search at the Oconomowoc Public Library) indicates that Edgar had died before 1900, suggesting that he wasn't found in the 1900 US Census record for the family and that led them to draw that conclusion. No source is given for information on his death.
ADDENDUM: The obituary for the family's youngest, Garnet Elizabeth (Myers) Steel, names only two brothers, Earl and George; I suspect at this point that the two sons I have as the oldest, Earl and George H., are actually one and the same man, and that the middle initial "H" is actually a transcription error and the original was originally an "E."
SECOND ADDENDUM: Edgar and George are two separate individuals, and as of the 1900 US Census, mother Mary Agnes (Bayha) Myers reported having had four children, three still living. This would indicate that Edgar died before 1900. Additionally, in the Jane Anne's files was a letter to Jean Pasko (for Jane Anne) from Audrey (Myers) Bedell, a descendant of George H Myers. This letter included quite a bit of information on some of this branch of the family tree, and one of the notes states that James Edgar died of cholera in the summer of 1895.
