He was the oldest of three sons born to Rev. John Ellis Edwards, D.D., and Elizabeth A. Clark Edwards. His father was a prominent Methodist pastor, serving in the North Carolina Conference and the Virginia Conference, and was a trustee of Randolph-Macon College. Leroy S. Edwards attended Randolph-Macon College, then in Boydton, Virginia, from 1857-1859, receiving an A. B. degree. Afterwards, he attended the University of Virginia from 1859-1860. ","Edwards was teaching at Petersburg Female College in 1861 when he enlisted in the 12th Virginia Infantry, Company E. He was engaged at the Seven Days Battles and was wounded in the arm at Crampton's Gap on September 14, 1862; he also fought at Sharpsburg. In 1863, Edwards was promoted to sergeant. After fighting in the Battle of the Wilderness, on May 8, 1864, he was captured while en route to Spotsylvania Court House. Edwards was sent to Point Lookout Prison Camp in Maryland and was transferred to Elmira, New York in August 1864, where he remained until his parole and exchange in February 1865. By March 1865, Edwards had returned to Richmond, Virginia. Soon after, he evacuated the Capital in April with the retreating Army of Northern Virginia and surrendered at Appomattox Court House, where he was paroled.","Edwards returned to Randolph-Macon College and received an A.M. degree in 1866. On August 8, 1866, he married Elizabeth Ferguson. By 1868, he and fellow R-MC alumnus, E. E. Parham, founded the Female Collegiate Institute in Richmond, Virginia. Edwards served his Richmond community extensively; he represented Clay Ward as a Councilman from 1878-1883, was a home office agent for the Piedmont and Arlington Life Insurance Co., principal of the Springfield School, and president of the YMCA from 1873-1874. He served as Secretary of the Alumni Society of Randolph-Macon College for many years and was elected to their Board of Trustees in 1877.

He was the oldest of three sons born to Rev. John Ellis Edwards, D.D., and Elizabeth A. Clark Edwards. His father was a prominent Methodist pastor, serving in the North Carolina Conference and the Virginia Conference, and was a trustee of Randolph-Macon College. Leroy S. Edwards attended Randolph-Macon College, then in Boydton, Virginia, from 1857-1859, receiving an A. B. degree. Afterwards, he attended the University of Virginia from 1859-1860. ","Edwards was teaching at Petersburg Female College in 1861 when he enlisted in the 12th Virginia Infantry, Company E. He was engaged at the Seven Days Battles and was wounded in the arm at Crampton's Gap on September 14, 1862; he also fought at Sharpsburg. In 1863, Edwards was promoted to sergeant. After fighting in the Battle of the Wilderness, on May 8, 1864, he was captured while en route to Spotsylvania Court House. Edwards was sent to Point Lookout Prison Camp in Maryland and was transferred to Elmira, New York in August 1864, where he remained until his parole and exchange in February 1865. By March 1865, Edwards had returned to Richmond, Virginia. Soon after, he evacuated the Capital in April with the retreating Army of Northern Virginia and surrendered at Appomattox Court House, where he was paroled.","Edwards returned to Randolph-Macon College and received an A.M. degree in 1866. On August 8, 1866, he married Elizabeth Ferguson. By 1868, he and fellow R-MC alumnus, E. E. Parham, founded the Female Collegiate Institute in Richmond, Virginia. Edwards served his Richmond community extensively; he represented Clay Ward as a Councilman from 1878-1883, was a home office agent for the Piedmont and Arlington Life Insurance Co., principal of the Springfield School, and president of the YMCA from 1873-1874. He served as Secretary of the Alumni Society of Randolph-Macon College for many years and was elected to their Board of Trustees in 1877. Edwards was also secretary of the Association of the Virginia Division of the Army of Northern Virginia. He died in 1901 and is buried in Hollywood Cemetery.
