    Isaiah Edwards or as he is more commonly known, Mr. Edwards, is a mountain man, and the first person Caroline and Charles Ingalls met while settling in Kansas.

    In result, many of the residents moved. Isaiah has lived in the mountains before, and has used his keen sense of direction to help the townspeople of Walut Grove in emergencies. Such as in the Blizzard, Edwards' stays outside all night with two of his children, Carl and Alicia.

    Early on it is found out that Mr. Edwards can't read in the episode, "Mr. Edwards' Homecoming." This served to be problem when John Jr. and Isaiah went hunting, John gave him a letter about how he felt. Mr. Edwards couldn't read this which presented a problem, the letter was of some importance. Later, Isaiah swallowed his pride and began to learn how to read.

    Not long after, John Jr. got a scholarship to a university in Chicago. John moved to Chicago, and Mary & Charles came to visit him only to find out city life had changed him and his engagement with Mary was off. A few years later, John was killed, which resulted in Edwards drinking again.

    He continually drinks until Grace divorces him and he moves back to Walnut Grove. He overcomes his drinking habit, becomes a Christian and remains in the town until it is blown up in "The Last Farewell"

    I don't remember what happened to Grace, but, the 2 children you are thinking of are Carl and Alicia. Their parents were killed in a buggy accident, and Charles was asked to find a family to adopt the 2 kids. So, they ended up being taken in by Mr.Edwards and Grace.
