There are some items about Belcher at Fulton; searching is not as much fun as at newspapers.com An example is Belcher's graduation from law school. Citing is a nightmare.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 17:42, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Death, burial, marriage[edit]

It appears he died January 7, 1893 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Also lists an Ida P. Belcher as his spourse. As Findagrave isn't considered a reliable source I am posting the info here for further investigation. LINK FloridaArmy (talk) 02:51, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to me loke Ida Prescott Belcher was married to someone else, and Edward J. Belcher (1842 - 1911). See here. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:00, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how many Edwin Belchers there were or if they are connected. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:08, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
