THE AGROMECK: NINETEEN FOURTEEN 23 Edward William Waldroup Edward William Waldroup was born in Hayesville, Clay County, North Carolina, July 20, 1889. After preliminary school training at Hiwassee, Ga., and Mur- phy, N. C, he entered the Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School, from which he graduated with the class of 1909. Entering A M College in the fall of 1910 with the present Senior Class, he registered for a course in Electrical Engineering. For three years he was a faith- ful and hard-working student, always thinking of his duty to others and to his college. But just as the future began to seem brightest, the hand of Fate lay heavily upon him. While spending his vacation in Raleigh he became ill and was taken to Rex Hospital, where he died July 27, 1913. His death was a source of deep regret to all who knew him. He numbered his friends by the score, and was held in the highest esteem by all with whom he came in contact.
