    • Changed the spelling of his family name from Cudly to Chudly.

      Born in a soddie, Edward graduated from Exeter High School and taught country school for one year. After that, he worked in the Milligan lumber yard.

      During the First World War, he served in France. General John J. Pershing was reviewing the troops and paused in front of Edward, asking him where he was from. Edward replied, "Nebraska, Sir." "They grow them tall in Nebraska, don't they?" said General Pershing and walked on. Edward was 6'5 inches, and stood out among the rest of the doughboys. (Milligan, pps 251-252).

      He was a former school teacher, and worked for the Elgin Watch company and later for the Nebraska State Library.
