Edward A. Libby (1839-1908) was born in Gorham, Maine, and died in Portland, Maine. Libby worked for many years in the shoe factories along the Salmon Falls River on the border between New Hampshire and Maine. In the early 1880s, he left the factories and began to work as a metaphysician. He moved to Portland, Maine, in the late 1880s and continued his metaphysical healing practice until his passing. There is no record of Libby studying with Mary Baker Eddy or uniting with the Church of Christ (Scientist).
