Thomas C. Edrington II served as a supply officer in the "black coal" Navy and was on the USS Vermont (BB-20) when it was part of the Great White Fleet and also the USS Illinois (BB-7) when it was in the Caribbean.

When the grandchildren were growing up we thought that Grandmother Edrington had the nickname, "Ager" - obviously because she was old. The real nickname was "Edger" given to her by a native of Briton Bay where summers were spent. Seems the local fellow gave up on pronouncing Edrington and the shortened version, complete with accent,  stuck, at least in the family.
