Edgar A. Wedgwood (May 2, 1856 – January 31, 1920) was an attorney and National Guard officer prominent in Nebraska and Utah.

A native of Lowell, Massachusetts, Wedgwood moved to Nebraska as a young man and became active in the home building business.

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.

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.

[1] In addition to assisting on his father's farm, Wedgwood became active in the home building business.

[7] Sutherland moved to Salt Lake City in 1893, and Wedgwood entered into a new partnership which included Samuel R.

[8] After returning from military service during the Spanish–American War in 1898, Wedgwood moved to Salt Lake City, where he practiced law in partnership with Hurd.

[9] The case moved back and forth between state and federal courts over several years and eventually ended with a decision that favored the irrigation company and farmers represented by Wedgwood's firm, but the final resolution of the case came after Wedgwood's death.

[12] Despite being a Democrat in a mostly Republican state and a Baptist in a state dominated by Mormons, in January 1907 he was appointed to a five-year term as adjutant general of Utah by Governor John Christopher Cutler and promoted to the rank of brigadier general.

[6] He was commissioned as a brigadier general and assigned to Camp Fremont, California as commander of the 82nd Infantry Brigade, a unit of the 41st Division.

[6] After the 41st Division left for France, Wedgwood remained in command of the Camp Greene military post.

[5] They were the parents of two sons, Frederick (died in infancy) and Bruce (1889–1948), and a daughter, Edgarda (1888–1873), the wife of Richard C.
