WWII Vet - medic, served in Africa Edgar W. Trout Jr., AB’39, AM’40, a former high-school teacher, died May 17 in Arlington Heights, IL. He was 81. A WWII veteran, Trout taught history, sociology, geography, and economics at Fremd High School in Palatine, IL, serving as the school’s senior chair of social sciences. He retired in 1978. Survivors include his wife, Jeanne; a son; and a sister. Univ. of Chicago Magazine Family from Canada John Muir and his brother Dan made arrangements to live in the cabin at Trout Hollow where they could ''den up'' for the winter and assist with the construction of an addition to William Trout's rake factory. By the end of the Civil war in 1865, Dan returned to the USA while John remained on to complete a contract making rake handles for Trout. William Trout noted that his family of '' studious...well informed lively lot of boys and girls, some of the school teachers,'' would be excellent companions for the Muirs. And so they were. Muir notes that all topics relating to Nature, the Creator, and Man were open for discussion with the Trout family. Wm. Trout said of the 28 year old John Muir ''He examined nature with a lover's eye....'' He stated that Muir was ''a real live inventor'' and '' a studious, methodical systematic persistent observer''. |
