Edwin Wildman, son of Prof. Edwin Wildman, a former principal of Perry Academy, died in New York City Nov. 2, aged 65 years. He lived in Perry as a boy, his stepmother being Mrs. Jennie Smallwood Badger.

Mr. Wildman who was one of the nation's best known newspaper men, served on the National Republican committee in the Hughes, Harding and Coolidge administrations. He was staff writer for the New York World, Leslie's Weekly and the Hearst Syndicate.

Mr. Wildman's parents, Prof. Edwin Wildman and Helen Rounsevelle Wildman, wanted their son to become a minister, and for a time in his youth he had attended the General Wesleyan Seminary at Lima, NY. Even after turning his attentions to writings, Mr. Wildman was known for a deep religious conviction.

Among the books he wrote were: "America's Attitude Toward The War," Reconstructing America," "Founders of America," "Building of America," "Treaty Ports of China," "Aguinaldo," a narrative of Philipine Ambition," "American Leaders of Industry," "Famous Leader of Character," and "Writing To Sell."

During intervals between magazine and newspaper jobs Edwin Wildman became interested in the Caucasian Society of America, free-lance writing on boyhood heroes and the trends of political thought. He once held a position as personal representative of Bartlett Arkell, president of the Beechnut Packing Company, during a proposal trans-Atlantic flight in April, 1927.

Mr. Wildman married three times. His second wife, Mary E. Stephenson, became his bride in Jersey City on July 19, 1911. He was married to Susan Tyler Brooke, in 1918, who survives. A brother, Rounsevelle Wildman, who was consul general at Hong-Kong under President McKinley, was drowned with his family on the Rio de Janeiro in the harbor of San Francisco in 1901.
