In an article from the Lowell Courier-Citzen, Tuesday, 13 Nov 1906 it mentions Edward fell after a ladder collapsed from a staging at the Lawrence Manufacturing Company. (This is the same company where his father was employed) His back hit a bench with great force.  He died at 5:30Am at the Lowell General hospital of a broken spine, internal injuries and hemorrhage of the lungs.  It mentions also that he leaves his parents and three sisters, Lilly, Winnie and Catherine and one brother, George.  The article goes on to say he was of sunny disposition and was well liked by all who knew him, and he was a constant attendant at St. Patrick's Church.  The article states: "The great crowd that visited the house of mourning in third ave prior to the funeral to pay a final tribute of respect to the deceased and the large representation at the funeral services gave evidence of the general esteem in which the deceased was held."  Ushers at the house and church were Wm. McDermott, Joseph McGuire,and John Kennedy.  the bearers were Thos. McDermott, James Holden, Edward Donovan, Edward Commerford, Patrick Brown and George Campbell.
