My great-grandfather George Edwards (Brother Eddy) was born in 1875 or 1874. He rescued and took lots of people to safety in his fishing boat at the 1902 La Soufrière Volcano eruption. He donated land for the Save Soul, Gospel Hall Church. He helped in the establishment of the Campden Park Agricultural and Experimental station. He was a farmer, a fisherman, a medicine man (Herbalist), and a preacher. People used to travel from different islands to visit my great-grandfather for medical help. He was helpful to the people who were from Wallilabou, too. At least 68 families from Wallilabou were relocated to Campden Park. Some of the people were relocated to Claire Valley. Brother Eddy had members of his family who resided in Claire Valley. He planted the coconut palms in Lowmans Bay. I think that he went to Panama to work Diggers during the construction of the Panama canal. He was an all rounder in the things he did.
