Additional Sources:

The Washington Post (1877-1954) Historical Newspapers, Obituary, 17 January 1886,
Brooke, died of typhoid fever, Columbus A., son of Eugenia M. and the late John Edmund Brooke, in the 21st year of his age.

Notes:
1870 US Census, Washington, DC
Edmund Brooke is not listed with his wife and children. Listed is Eugenia Brooke and several children.

Various spellings of Edmund (Edmond) and the surname of Brooke (Brook or Brooks) have proven challenging in the research of this family.
