- Edgar A. Wedgwood (May 2, 1856 – January 31, 1920) was an attorney and National Guard officer prominent in Nebraska and Utah. A veteran of the Spanish–American War, Philippine–American War, and World War I, he was most notable for his service as adjutant general of the Utah National Guard from 1910 to 1917. A native of Lowell, Massachusetts, Wedgwood moved to Nebraska as a young man and became active in the home building business. Despite being a Democrat in a Republican community, he twice won election as sheriff of Hall County and served from 1885 to 1889. In addition, he served on the city council of Grand Island and as city treasurer of Wood River. While serving as sheriff, Wedgwood studied law, and he was admitted to the bar in 1890. After becoming an attorney, Wedgwood moved to Utah, practicing law first in Provo and then in Salt Lake City. He was active in charitable and civic causes and served for several years on the state board of bar examiners. A veteran of the National Guard in Nebraska and Utah, Wedgwood served in the United States Army during the Spanish–American War and Philippine–American War, and was wounded during combat in the Philippines. He remained active in the National Guard after returning to the United States and served as adjutant general of the Utah National Guard from 1907 to 1917. Wedgwood returned to active duty for World War I. Commissioned as a brigadier general, he commanded 82nd Infantry Brigade, 41st Division. Ill health prevented Wedgwood from going to France with his brigade, and he retired from the military and returned to Salt Lake City in early 1918. After returning to Utah, Wedgwood resumed practicing law. He became ill in early 1920 and died on January 31, 1920. He was buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Salt Lake City. (en)
