Edward C. Thiers was born in Kenosha April 17. 1886. and received his early educational training in its public and high schools, later having the advantage of three years of study at the Northwestern University, at Evanston.
Returning home after his father's death, he clerked for the tirm of Slosson & O'Brien for a year or two, and then commenced the study of law with the firm of J. V. & C. Quarles. with whom he remained seven years. Meantime, in 1880, he was admitted to the Bar, and he gave his attention wholly to legal practice until the fall of 1883, when he took his present position with N. R. Allen's Sons. His long retention in their service is the best testimonial of his worth.

This union has been blessed with one daughter, Helen, who is at present a junior in Vassar College.

Simmons Library. In politics he supports the Republican party, particularly in national issues.
