| Description | The Greek Revival-style Martin Luther Edwards House was built in 1853. Edwards (1781-1870) was a cabinet maker from New Milford, Connecticut. He and his brothers moved to Canfield, Mahoning County, Ohio, in 1827 and then on to Hudson before 1837. Edwards lost his young wife Sarah (1784-1851) and 20-year-old son to consumption and channeled his sorrow into building this home. He later found happiness with his musically-inclined second wife, Flora Mills Edwards (1810-1867). Ernest Fillius (1857-1921), Hudson mayor and Summit County commissioner, once occupied this home. Fillius enjoyed vacationing in Cuba. During the spring of 1950, when the family of Leland L. Smith (1891-1960) occupied the home, a burglar entered the back door and took the first three things he laid eyes on: a gun, a rag and a carton of Lucky Strike cigarettes. The burglar was never caught. |
