Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 624:
Edward S. Irwin, a prosperous farmer of Gosfield North, Concession 9, Lot 25, has long been a prominent figure in township affairs, and has seen many years' service as a councilman. He was born in Mersea township, Couty of Essex, Ont., June 14, 1849, son of George and Sarah E. (French) Irwin, who lived on a farm there on Concession 7...
     George Irwin was born in County Armagh, Ireland, in 1809... He belonged to the Church of England, and his wife was a Baptist. Ten children were born to George and Sarah Irwin, as follows: ... (10) Edward S. is the subject proper of this sketch.
     Edward S. Irwin grew up on the old homestead, working on the farm and going to the district school. He continued to work on the farm until 1872, when he married and removed to a farm in Gosfield North, Concession 10. After four years there he bought his present farm on Concession 9.
     Mrs. Irwin was a Miss Linda C. Whittle, born in Mersea June 1, 1853. Her parents were Aaron and Susan (Reve) Whittle, born in the County of Essex and Romney, Ont., respectively. Both are now deceased, and of their children, only Mrs. Irwin, and a son, George, on the home place, are still living. To Mr. and Mrs. Irwin only one child has come, a daughter, named Edna, who was born May 15, 1875. She is the wife of Eli Cowles, an engineer on the Michigan Central Railroad, lives in St. Thomas, and has two children, Thomas E. and Joseph W.
     Both Mr. and Mrs. Irwin were brought up in the Church of England. Politically he has always been a Conservative, and has been prominent in the councils of the party. In 1883 he was elected councillor for Old Gosfield, and served ten years consecutively, while in 1903 he was again chosen for the office. He has also been secretary and treasurer of the school board for several years. In fraternal life he is a member of the Orangemen, in Mersea Lodge. Mr. Irwin comes of an old pioneer family, most favorably known in Mersea, where they have always been highly respected and in prosperous circumstances, and Mr. Irwin is a worthy representative of his line.
