EDWARDS City of Bevier Elects Officers At a quiet election held yesterday Henry G. Edwards was elected mayor of the City of Bevier.

He is a native son who has always boosted everything good for this community. Edwards was educated in the rural schools of Bevier township, and graduated from the local high school in 1910. He is also a graduate of the Moberly Commercial College and the St. Louis College of Embalmusing and Mortuary Science. It was while employed as delivery boy for Albert Skinner that Edwards decided to become an undertaker.

He worked for J. W. Nisbeth until 1912 and in the Central Coal and Coke company office until 1916. He then entered the St. Louis Mortuary School, realizing his boyhood ambition.

Upon his return to Bevier, he accepted a position with Frederick Brothers, and in December 1919, he purchased the undertaking department of that firm. From 1919 Edwards has expanded his undertaking business and today he and Mrs. Edwards maintain a modern funeral home on Shelby St. He also operates a funeral home at Callao, known as the Perry and Edwards Funeral Home.

Other projects that Nisbeth has fought to achieve have been a small park on Macon Street which out-of-town visitors could enjoy, and the beautification of vacant lots by the city. While acting as mayor of Bevier, Nisbeth served as head of all worthwhile drives. He has acted as city chairman for the Red Cross for 25 years, president of the county Infantile paralysis organization for four years, head of the Salvation Army and War Bond drives in the community.
