"RANSOM W. EDDEN, M.D., has for nearly a decade been one of the successful medical practitioners of Janesville, Rock County. His family is of English origin. His grandfather, Richard EDDEN, was the father of five children, and died in New York in middle life, his wife surviving him and passing away in Minnesota. Both were born in England, as was also their son Thomas H., father of our subject, who after his father's death was reared in the family of Peter ANTES. The latter is still living in New York state, honored and beloved in his declining years.
Thomas H. EDDEN was brought to this country by his parents when he was but nine years old, and passed his early years as a farmer's boy. He served a year in Company K, 185th N.Y.V.I., and was wounded in an engagement. On Oct. 2, 1866, he married Mary M. RANSOM, of Onondaga County, N.Y., a daughter of Edward RANSOM, who in about 1866 settled on a farm some three miles from Janesville, dying there at the age of sixty-four; he left two children. Thomas H. EDDEN after his removal to Wisconsin engaged in farming near Janesville, and yet owns a farm in the immediate neighborhood of that city, at present making his home in Janesville. He is a Methodist, and his wife a Congregationalist, but difference in creed has never parted them. They have been the parents of seven children, two sons and five daughters, four of whom are yet living, Ransom W., Ida (Mrs. Clifford AKIN), Nellie and Frederick.
Dr. EDDEN was born Feb. 15, 1869, in Rock County. His early educational advantages were on par with those of most farmers' sons, but a strong impulse led him to believe that his vocation was the practice of medicine, and to attain this he bent every power and faculty of his strong young manhood. Matriculating at Bennett College, Chicago, in 1888, he graduated therefrom in 1891, returning at once to Janesville to begin a career the success of which has attested at once his professional skill and his manly fidelity. Beloved and trusted by his patients, he is also esteemed and honored by his professional brethren. He is a member of the Wisconsin State Eclectic Medical Society, holds the office of treasurer in the Rock County Medical Society, and is connected with the medical staff of the Palmer Memorial Hospital, of which institution he is also treasurer. He also belongs to the Medical Library Association of Chicago. Fraternally he is a Master Mason, in political sentiment, a Republican.
In February, 1898, the Doctor married Miss Lottie RATHERAM, a daughter of Edward and Sarah (BLAY) RATHERAM, of Janesville, and in the year of his marriage bought his present home, which is situated at No. 259 South Bluff street. Mrs. EDDEN is a member of the Baptist Church."
