St. Helena Star, April 17, 1975
Edwin H. Learned
Private graveside services were held on Tuesday, at the St. Helena Cemetery followed by a memorial service that evening at Chapel of the Valley Funeral Home for Edwin H. Learned, 63, of St. Helena who died on April 13 in a San Francisco Hospital.
A native San Franciscan, Mr. Learned attended schools in the Bay Area. He was associated with the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco until entering the U.S. Army, serving for five years.
After his discharge he moved to St. Helena where he and his father-in-law operated the McCormick Ranch. After the death of Mr. McCormick, he continued to operate the ranch alone.
Active in government and community affairs, Mr. Learned was awarded the John Companius Holm Award by the Department of Commerce for his accurate meteorological observations over the years. He was also instrumental in instigating the micro-filming of all back issues of the St. Helena STAR while he was a member of the Napa Valley Wine Library and Friends of the Library.
Mr. Learned had been interested in the preservation of valley history and culture including that of the early pioneers. He had researched the genealogical history of his wife's family as well as his own which showed him to be a 12th generation American.
Survivors include his wife, Edna May of St. Helena; a daughter, Sandra D. of San Francisco; a son, Gary H. of St. Helena; a brother, Donald E. of Ross; and a sister-in-law, Ina M. Hart of St. Helena.
Donations to the American Cancer Society are preferred.
