==Early life==
Edge was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 20, 1873. His father, William Edge, worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad. His mother Mary (Evans) Edge, died when he was two years old.〔Mahoney, Joseph F., "Walter Evans Edge", in ''The Governors of New Jersey, 1664-1974'', edited by Paul A Stellhorn and Michael J. Belkner, New Jersey Historical Commission, Trenton, NJ 1982〕 At the age of four Edge moved to Pleasantville, New Jersey, where the family of his stepmother, Wilhemina (Scull) Edge, operated a small hotel. His formal education went only as far as the eighth grade in a two-room public school in Pleasantville.〔Edge, Water Evans, ''A Jerseyman's Journal'', Princeton, NJ, Princeton University Press 1948〕
As a youth, Edge demonstrated a desire to succeed in business and he acquired an interest in politics. At the age of ten, he and another boy started a four-page weekly newspaper devoted to social news, the ''Pleasantville Bladder'', which had a circulation of approximately one hundred.〔 Edge also attended Pleasantville Republican party rallies and later recounted that he came away from these events feeling great excitement and a growing determination to someday participate in politics himself.〔
