General Notes: Husband - Edgar Huidekoper

---

Meadville, Crawford Co, PA

Edgar Huidekoper was a man of good judgment, great industry and strict integrity in his business relations in life. He was an able financier. He was Treasurer of the Meadville Theological School in its early days, carrying on this task with untiring industry and unsleeping vigilance joined to enterprise and courage. He made judicious investments whereby its scanty funds yielded large returns. He was a patriot as well as faithful citizen, performing his duties to the community in which he lived, to the church to which he was attached, and to his country with that zeal which characterized all his acts. And yet out of the strong came forth sweetness. He was affectionate, with a love passing the love of a woman. His thoughtfulness for others was kind and generous. He could confer favors with that delicacy which leaves no taint of pride with the giver, no sense of humiliation with the receiver. He established the first steam grist-mill at Meadville, contributed toward public improvements and built for himself and family a comfortable home on Chestnut Hill. Whatever he did, he did well.
