Hi there,
I share some further information.
1902, so this is before the motor car, it’s the era of the horse drawn carriage. So there’s 70 miles (around 110 kms) between Tamworth and Armidale. Tamworth is around 400 metres above sea level. Armidale is around 980 metres above sea level. Tamworth to Armidale is UPHILL all the way, and conversely, Armidale to Tamworth is DOWNHILL all the way. Experienced people needed to be in charge of horses. I would not expect anyone whose funeral service was at St Pauls, Armidale to be buried in Tamworth in 1902. ADD, so nor would I expect anyone whose funeral was at St Peters Cathedral, Armidale to be buried in Tamworth in 1902.
Joseph Henry EDGAR’s younger brother was William. William enlisted in the AIF, and he was KIA, 1917 and his 94 page B2455 Service file is readily available, no subscription required via the online website from the National Archives of Australia. His Service number was 3475. His nok was his mother.

https://www.armidaleregional.nsw.gov.au/ It does NOT cover Tamworth. Tamworth’s LGA is Tamworth Regional Council. Here is that LGA’s website.
https://www.tamworth.nsw.gov.au/ The Armidale LGA has responsibility for the cemeteries in its LGA. Here is the live link for that…
https://www.armidaleregional.nsw.gov.au/community/community-support/cemeteries-memorials and here is the live link for Armidale cemetery.
https://www.armidaleregional.nsw.gov.au/community/community-support/cemeteries-and-memorials/armidale-cemetery The blurb at that link notes that the cemetery currently in use was dedicated in 1863, so many decades prior to Joseph EDGAR’s death. That cemetery link has a live link to the Armidale Cemetery Map. The map clearly shows the sections for each denomination including the Presbyterian. To me, St Paul’s Armidale would be the Presbyterian and St Peter's, Armidale would be Anglican.

I have just looked at the 1897 NSW map available online via hlrv.nswlrs.com.au for ROCKVALE, and I can clearly see CP.73.12521 (194 acres) and CP, 71.3444 (126 acres) were originally conditional purchases for a Joseph Hamilton.
