PROFESSOR CLARENCE EARL EDDLEBLUTE.
Prominent among the educators of southern Wyoming is Professor Clarence Earl Eddleblute, superintendent of Laramie public schools. He holds to advanced professional standards in all that he undertakes as a teacher and his zeal and interest in his work inspire the pupils under him and draw forth their hearty cooperation. He was born in Schuyler, Nebraska, May 4, 1891, a son of Luther H. and Katie (Brigham) Eddleblute. who were natives of Plymouth, Ohio, and of Freeport, Illinois, respectively, The father was an eminent minister of the Methodist faith, devoting his life to that holy calling for a third of a century. During the progress of his work in behalf of the church he lived in several states and for a time was located in New York and Pennsylvania, but is now a resident of Colorado, making his home near Denver. His wife passed away in Silver Creek, New York, in 1898. In their family were three children: Everett 0., who is living in Butler, Pennsylvania; Mrs. George Kelley, of Bennett, Colorado; and Clarence E., who was the second in order of birth. In his boyhood days Professor Eddleblute of this review was a pupil in the schools of Ripley, New York, and of Silver Creek, that state, while later he attended school in Rouseville, Pennsylvania, becoming a high school pupil later at Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania, while subsequently he attended the State Normal School at Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, being graduated from that institution with the class of 1909. He entered upon his professional career at Hadley, Pennsylvania, where he was principal, teacher and janitor of the township high school for two years. In 1911 he came to the west, locating first in Byers, Colorado. where he was on his father's ranch through one summer. He accepted the position of teacher in the Byers school, with which he was connected for one term. The next summer he again took up ranching and during the following school year he taught at Englewood, Colorado. where he continued as teacher and principal for two and a half years. During these and the two following years he was a student in the Saturday College for Teachers of the University of Denver, and in the fall of 1914 he was elected county superintendent of schools of Arapahoe county, Colorado, where he continued until elected principal of the high school of Laramie. On the 4th of May, 1912, Mr. Eddleblute filed on a homestead in Arapahoe county, where he maintained his residence until he secured the papers that granted him full ownership of the property. This place he sold in October, 1917. He has ever regarded the profession of teaching as his real life work and has won for himself a notable position in professional ranks. On the 3d of June, 1915, he received the Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Denver. He was granted a state life teacher's certificate by Colorado in recognition of his service in educational lines. In June, 1916, he received from the University of Denver the degree of Master of Arts. Since locating in Laramie he has done much for the development of the educational system and his work has received many words of warm commendation from those well qualified to judge of his ability. On the 3d of June, 1915, Professor Eddleblute was married to Miss Anna May Bullock, of Englewood, Colorado, who was born in the highest incorporated town in America—Leadville, Colorado. She is a daughter of James and Martha Bullock, the former now deceased, while the latter is a resident of Laramie. Mrs. Eddleblute is a lady of innate culture and refinement. She was graduated from Victor high school at Victor, Colorado, and from the State Teachers College of Colorado and for a time prior to her marriage was a well known public school instructor. Professor and Mrs. Eddleblute have one child, Luther Clarence, born in Laramie, August 25, 1917. Their religious faith is evidenced by their membership in the Presbyterian church, in which Professor Eddleblute is serving as a trustee. In his political views he is independent, with leanings toward republican issues. Fraternally he is a member of the Masonic order. He and his wife occupy an enviable position in those social circles where true worth and intelligence are received as passports into good society. His standing in educational circles is indeed enviable and his labors are of a high order. He has ever recognized the fact that the purpose of teaching is to develop capacity, and agrees with President Eliot of Harvard that “What is needed is continuous education which lasts all through life.” He has therefore directed his efforts in such a manner as to make his teachings of the most continuous worth and in devoting his time, energies and thought to the instruction of the young he has developed many progressive methods which have been most resultant.
