The 1880 Census of Troy, Waldo Co., ME, shows:

This same couple appears in the 1900 census, same location.
Edmund appears alone in the 1910 census, same location.
This makes the birth record of Lewvill W. Hollis, son of Edmond S., farmer, b. Troy, and Margrett A. (Whitney) Hollis, a puzzlement. Did Edmund have two wives, or was there a recording error?
