Edgar Browne Hager[2] (1868–1935)[3] was the former mayor of Ashland, Kentucky.[4]

According to A History of Kentucky and Kentuckians Volume III by E. Polk Johnson, Hager was "one of the most accomplished and cultured men ever to grace the Kentucky bar." It goes on to say that he came to Ashland with his parents in April 1881, becoming a student at Beech Grove Academy in 1884. He went on to graduate from Kentucky Wesleyan College in June 1888.
