Edmund B. LAWYER
Minnie STRAUB
Husband:  Edmond / Edmund / Edward / Edwin B. LAWYER
Birth:  Jul 1862, OH
Occupation:  foreman
Father:  Isaac P. LAWYER (1825/6- )
Mother:  Martha H. TAYLOR (1825/6- )

I have no explanation for why our subject's given name varied from census to census; however, it isn't the first time I've seen these given names used interchangeably.  Perhaps, as with Hester and Esther, which appear entirely interchangeable in historic records, they did not see the distinction we make between these names.  It may also be that our subject, having been orphaned as a child, only knew himself as "Ed," but was embarrassed to admit he didn't know his full given name, so gave one inconsistently; and, in which case, we would have to choose "Edmund," from the 1870 census, as the correct name because it's the only census where our subject appears with his parents, and they surely knew what they named their son!
