Edwin went to sea on fishing schooners as a boy. He sometimes assisted the cook aboard and often made slumgudgen, scrambled eggs with bread and cheese in the eggs (he said it tasted a little fishy when they ran out of hens eggs and relied on the cook to row over to a ledge and procure gull eggs). At age 14 he was aboard a fishing schooner, probably one captained by his grandfather John F. Peterson, which was blown off course in a severe storm to the coast of Labrador - they landed near Dr. Wilfred Grenfell's mission where Edwin saw his first gymnasium and welfare work. He had a personal conversation with Dr. Grenfell who encouraged him to become better educated. This inspired him to return to school.
He graduated from Abbot School (secondary school) and Eastern State Normal School (now the Maine Maritime Academy; his teaching certificate is dated 5 June 1901), both in Castine, and in 1906 from Bates College with the A.B. degree in physical education and recreation (starring there in baseball, basketball and football and for four years on the all-state football team [once as an end, once as a tackle and twice as a fullback]). He was vice president in 1903 of the Class of 1906. He then was principal and coach at Hallowell, Maine, then teacher and coach at Lincoln High School, Cleveland, Ohio (where his life-long nickname "Chief" originated). [The 1910 federal census lists him in Cuyahoga Co., OH.] It is interesting that he entered Bates College on a scholarship with $10 in his pocket and one suit of clothes, working waiting tables and washing dishes for room and board. His letters (held by the Muskie Archives and Special Collections Library, Bates College) to Professor Pomeroy at Bates College in 1908 and 1909 refer to the professor's signing of a note to the bank on behalf of Edwin. He was known by his classmates at Bates as 'Solon'. He was a renowned amateur boxer.
He began teaching mathematics and service as athletic director at Lincoln High School on Woodbridge Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. During his ten years (1907-1917) at Lincoln High School he was also athletic and recreational director at summer camps for boys at New York's Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains, where he became friends with naturalists Ernest Thompson Seton and Dan Beard, and was in the group with them which worked with General Sir Robert Baden-Powell to bring Boy Scouting to the United States.
During World War I he was employed (formally by a 23 August 1917 letter from W. H. Tinker, Placement Secretary of the National War Council, YMCA; serving 1917-1919) by the YMCA as Director of Recreational Activities (responsible for fitness training, athletics, etc.) at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, largest of the World War I Army training camps. General Edwin Glenn soon recommended him for a commission to be Division Athletic Director (letter dated 27 Nov 1917 to the Commission on Training Camp Activities) - no record of the commission has been found. [After W.W. I he had a choice of three positions: recreational director for Goodyear, one with the federal Park Service, and an opportunity to go to Bermuda to be in a motion picture with Annette Kellerman, a famous swimmer {see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annette_Kellerman}.] His effectiveness at Camp Sherman led Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. to induce him to come to Akron in 1919 to provide physical exercise for 17,700 people as a pioneer in industrial athletics. Edwin coached its basketball team in the industrial league; he served at Goodyear from 12 May 1919 until he retired 01 Sept 1953. Goodyear established an industrial university for its employees (see New York Times article 9 May 1920) in which Edwin served as head of physical education.
He graduated 11 June 1931 with A.B., LL.B. degrees from Cleveland Law School, but never practiced law. He started every heat of the Soap Box Derby from its move to Akron in 1934 until the late 1950s, was first (1930) and long-time chair of the Akron Recreation Commission, served on the Akron Board of Education, judge in many athletic events, originated the father-son banquet and pioneered the industrial recreation movement, YMCA member 50+ years; he was in wide demand as an inspirational speaker and master of ceremonies. At Goodyear he coached many championship teams, including National AAU soccer and two National Basketball League titles, and was a member of the Akron boxing commission, according to his obituary in the September, 1960 "Bates Alumnus" magazine. He even did some acting, appearing in the cast of the musical comedy "Spring Maid" (produced by the Goodyear Three Arts Club). On 12 May 1919 he became recreation director and Director of Employee Activities at Goodyear, retiring 1 Sept 1953. His career at Goodyear was celebrated 20 January 1954 with an open house at the Goodyear Gym in Akron. Sportswriter Jim Schlemmer offered an extensive tribute in the Akron Beacon Journal the previous Sunday. He wrote, "Swimmer, cyclist, skater (he once skated nonstop from Cleveland to Akron on the frozen canal); Conner might have succeeded Jack Johnson as the heaveyweight fistic champion if his desire for that kind of business had been equal to his ability... Instead, even before coming to Akron, he devoted his spare time to church work and already had won recognition as the originator and developer of the Father-Son Week idea. ...Long years spent in Boy Scout work built intimate friendships with General Baden-Powell, Ernest Thompson Seton, Dan Beard and others. They called him Coach or Chief like everybody else...." His obituary in the Akron Beacon Journal calls him "big in body, in voice, in mind and in ideals." He was an ardent conservationist and enjoyed bird study, hiking, boating and hunting. He was an avid, serious fisherman, tying his own flies. He died fishing from a boat in the Indian River in Florida. He was a mesomorph in body type. Historian Phil Perkins told A. E. Myers in August, 1995 that Ed Conner had been touted as a contender for the national boxing championship, but that his wife (Vivian) protested strenuously, and he therefore did not fight. He and his wife are buried together in Lot 118 in the Castine Cemetery.
In 1911 he initiated the Father and Son Banquet tradition. He was then director of athletics at Lincoln High School in Cleveland. A minister in Ashtabula (east of Cleveland) asked him to speak to a meeting of fathers in his church. Edwin asked that sons be invited, too. In 1912 Edwin, Newton D. Baker, Mayor of Cleveland, and Secretary Robert S. Lewis of the Cleveland YMCA fostered a Father and Son Week in Cleveland, culminating in a banquet. Baker proposed that 500 other American cities encourage the same idea. (- reference: newspaper articles in scrapbook in Castine) Father and Son Banquets were a staple in the church community across America for many decades.
Edwin ran successfully several times for the Akron (OH) Board of Education. His candidacy in 1927 (reported in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, p. 13) was in opposition to the control exercised over the Board by the Ku Klux Klan. He was an early member and long-time chairman of the Akron Recreational Committee. He was a member of the YMCA for 50+ years.
Edwin met his future wife, Vivian, while deer hunting near Amherst, Hancock Co., Maine.
He was a member of Lafayette Chapter of the Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution as a descendant of Capt. David Dunbar, Jr. of Massachusetts (NSSAR member # 73082).
"The New York Times" May 9, 1920, Sunday - Section: Magazine Features, Page XX10:
He was executive vice chairman of the All-American Soap Box Derby, Inc. in 1934 in Akron, Ohio, and was the starter of each race for nearly two decades (standing at the top of Derby Downs in Akron). [- Akron Beacon Journal, 25 June 1934]
Jim Schlemmer, sports columnist, wrote in a lengthy tribute to Ed in the Akron Beacon Journal 17 Jan 1954 that "he broadened into a physical culturalist, moralist, dietician, psychologist, lecturer, philosopher, educator, conservationist, and as great a salesman for living by the Golden Rule as Akron has ever known; not even excepting the professional preachers."
Ed wrote sections of a widely-used athletic manual, "Duties of the Captain, the Manager and the Coach," in "[Spalding's] Official Basket Ball Rules: As Adopted by the Amateur Athletic Union and the Young Men's Christian Association Athletic League of North America," ed. George T. Hepbron (New York, 1910)
During his Akron years he resided at 1475 Hillside Terrace there, and returned to Castine, Maine each summer.
From: ohio.com/akron/lifestyle/local-history/local-history-here-s-how-beacon-journal-first-reported-soap-box-derby-in-1934 -
Editors note: Here is the first known article in the Akron Beacon Journal to mention the Soap Box Derby - back when the All-American race was held in Dayton. The Akron derby was held on East Tallmadge Avenue. This article was published June 25, 1934:
Here it is, boys!
The biggest contest of the year.
Indianapolis has its Memorial Day classic. France has its Grand Prix, and now Akron is going to have its Soap Box Derby.
Akron district boys will build their own soap box racing cars and on Aug. 4 they will stage a race to determine who has the fastest car. The winner of the Akron derby will go to Dayton, O., on Aug. 18 and 19, as guest of the Beacon Journal and All-American Soap Box Derby Inc. to participate against 40 or 50 other boys in the national derby.
The derby is open to all boys from the age of 6 to 15 inclusive.
The only requirement is that the racer is homemade and meets building specifications.
Specifications are ready and registration cards are waiting to be filled out.
Akron Chevrolet dealers are cooperating with the Beacon Journal in staging this contest. To save the entrants from having to come downtown, the Chevrolet dealers of the district have the booklets telling all about the race and how the cars should be built, as well as the registration cards.
C.W. Seiberling, vice president of the Seiberling Rubber Co., and a great defender of the American boy, is chairman of the general committee. Coach Ed Conner of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., who has worked with boys from many years, is executive vice chairman.
Starters, timers and other officials will be named later.
When the race was run in Dayton a year ago, more than 400 boys took part. More than 30,000 persons lined the sides of the hill to witness the race.
And here is more big news.
The grand prize in the national contest is four years tuition in any state university in the country.
Second prize is a three-day trip to the Century of Progress exposition with all expenses paid.
Third prize will be a $100 wrist watch.
There are numerous other prizes, and almost every entrant in the national event will receive one.
Of course, the two-day trip to Dayton is a prize in itself. Prizes in the Akron derby will be announced later.
Here is how the race will be run:
Boys will be divided into two age classes. Boys 6 to 11 years old are in class A. Boys from 12 to 15 inclusive are in class B.
Cars also will be divided into two classes. Class X having plain wheel bearings and class Y with roller bearings.
Boys in class A, driving class X cars will be classified as class A-X. Or boys in class A driving class Y cars will be called class A-Y. B boys driving X cars will be class B-X, and B boys driving Y cars will be class B-Y.
The races will be run in heats, the first heats starting from scratch. In the first heats, only class A-X boys will be raced against each other and the same for other classes.
When the gun is fired, the boys will release their brakes and the race will be on. For safety sake, the course will be divided into lanes with the drivers expected to stay within their own lanes.
Eliminations will continue until there are four boys left in the race, one representing each class. Each race is timed from start to finish.
The very last race of the day, the race to pick the Akron champion, will be a handicap affair.
For instance, John Smith coasts the hill in 28 seconds; John Doe makes it in 26 seconds; John Brown in 24 seconds; and John Doaks in 20 seconds.
Smith is started first. Two seconds later, Doe starts. In two more seconds, Brown starts, and finally, two seconds later, Doaks releases his brakes.
The handicap system is designed to make the race as fair for one boy as another. The same system will be followed in the national race at Dayton.
Although the rules book tells about a Blue Flame race, this event will not be staged in Akron. The Akron derby will be for 'Simon-pure' amateurs only, the boys in classes A and B.
So drop in at your nearest Chevrolet dealer for your instructions, and then get out the old hammer and saw. For you may be the boy champion Soap Box Derby racer of the United States for 1934. And be sure to watch the Beacon Journal every day for new developments and announcements.
There are many true stories about him:
Growing up he was barefoot all summer, on a hardscrabble farm in Penobscot, about a mile and a half from the Castine town line and with shoreline on the Bagaduce River (estuary). His mother had purchaes a new pair of shoes for him to wear to school. Shortly before school was to open for the first semester of the new school year, the Blue Hill Fair was held and Ed wished to go - and had to walk unless offered a ride in a farmer's wagon. His mother forced him to wear the new shoes in order to present a good appearance - they hurt his feet so much that he took them off and hid them behind a large boulder almost opposite his grandmother Lucy's home near the top of the hill toward the village of Penobscot. He retrieved them on his return and wore them home. Generations of his descendants have been shown the Shoe Rock as they travel the Dunbar Road.
For exercise as a teenager he would travel by canoe up the Bagaduce River, portage to Walker Pond and then to Eggemoggin Reach, around Cape Rosier and head home to the farm on the Bagaduce.
Ed was an avid fisherman. He would sit by the pond or stream and watch what the fish were eating and then go home to make a fly or choose a bait and return to be sure of catching many fish. He died while fishing in a river in NE Florida.
He wrote a newspaper column which was quite popular, full of humor and homely advice - I think it was called Spizzerinctum.
Ed usually played Santa Claus for this grandchildren. At dusk we heard a cow bell outside, and soon he would appear at the door dressed in the costume.
His wife was unhappy with his chewing and smoking stogies (cigars). When together in the automobile he had to have his window open, even in winter, as he smoked.
Soon after World War II he took delivery of a brand new automobile - he had been waiting many months for it. He and Vivian took me with them on their annual trip to Castine to visit his mother. One day he drove down to Dennett's Wharf and we rented a small boat which he rowed across the estuary and we went clamming. We returned with a large hod full of the delicious soft-shelled Maine clams. The hod went into the trunk of his new Pontiac sedan and I sat in the front passenger seat as he pulled up to the single Gulf gasoline pump. Jake and Joe Dennett ran the Wharf - Joe the boats and Jake the motors and gas pump. Jake always had a cigarette hanging from his lip. And he always over-filled the tank when pumping (this was before automatic pump-stopping). Into the pool of gas next to the automobile he dropped his lit cigarette - whoosh! - a large curtain of flames - me leaping from the seat - grandfather walking to the end of the wharf and sitting on a piling weeping - automobile totalled and the clams inedible. Fortunately friends of the family came by to say hello a few days later and offered us a ride home to Akron - me sitting squezed between my grandparents in the rear seat of the sedan.
This front page story about him has his name wrong (he was always called Chief, not Ed or Edwin) and also his wife's name wrong - probably due to a very tight deadline to publication:
"The Akron Beacon Journal [Akron, Ohio], 27 April 1960," pp. 1 & 5: "One of Akron's legendary figures died Tuesday in Stuart, Fla. the way he had always lived active in sports. The body ol Edward Solon 'Ed' Conner, 79, was found in his boat in the Indian River. Conner's physician said the 'Chief' apparently over-taxed his heart while trying to free the boat which had been caught on a snag. He had set out on a fishing trip. A friend found Conner after the latter's wife became worried about her husband's absence. Conner was director of athletics at the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. from May 12, 1919 until his retirement Sept. 1, 1953. But he was a big man in all sports activities in the area - big In body, in voice, in mind and in ideals. Over his long career, the Chief, was always '38,' as much of a joke to his legion of admirers as Jack Benny's time-honored '39.' Conner's philosophy was that sports belonged to every body - men and boys, girls and women. He practiced what he preached. Until 1950, when Illness forced him out of that role he started every heat of every Beacon Journal Soap Box Derby, dating back to 1934. He served on the City Recreation Commission from 1934 through 1951 and was the commission chairman each year after 1941. Conner was the originator of the father and son banquet idea and a pioneer In the industrial recreational systems started alter World War I. The Goodyear Wing foot teams he coached in the 20s compiled a brilliant record. Many still see the mammoth Goodyear gymnasium as a monument to the Chief's faith In the value of physical fitness and recreation for all. The town knew him also as a master toastmaster, an ace among after dinner speakers. Conner was born in Castine, a little town on a point in Penobscot Bay on the Maine seacoast. His father, as the other Conners before him, made his living from the sea. As a young man, the Chief, too, served aboard fishing boats on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland but he had a dream he wanted to be a teacher. In time, he enrolled at the Eastern State Normal School in Castine. Conner transferred to Bates College at Lewiston where he starred in three sports baseball, basketball and football. For four successive years, he was named to the all-state football team, once as an end, once as a tackle and twice as a fullback. After graduation, he was principal and coach for a year at Hallowell. Me., then removed to Cleveland, O., to teach and coach at Lincoln High School. It was in Cleveland that he acquired the nickname which was to stick with him through the rest of his life - Chief. His record was so good that a sporting goods dealer dubbed him 'chief of all the coaches.' Conner left Cleveland in World War I to serve as athletic director at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe. He turned out such power houses at Camp Sherman that, after the war, Goodyear induced him to come to Akron and coach its basketball team. The Chief was at the helm in the years when Goodyear and Firestone cage teams had a memorable rivalry. He was married in 1901 in Amherst, Me., to the former Virginia Kenniston. In addition to his wife, he leaves two daughters, Mrs. Forrest Myers, of Akron, and Mrs. Fred Mosley of New York City."

http://xenia.media.mit.edu/~kristin/fambly/Learned/WilliamLearned.html reports: "William was born circa 1581 in Bermondsey, Surrey, England, as based upon his date of marriage. He died in Woburn, Middlesex co., MA on 1 March 1645/6; he was 64. William and his family migrated to New England by 1630, where he was admitted as an inhabitant of Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA that year. 'William Learned and Goodith his wife' were admitted to the church at Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA on 6d:10m(December):1632. He made Freeman there on 14 May 1634. William and his family remained in Charlestown for roughly a decade -- he is on the lists of Charlestown residents of 9 January 1633/4 and January 1635/6. Then, they removed to Woburn, Middlesex co., MA in 1640. In Charlestown, William acquired and divested a great deal of real estate. In 1635, he was allotted two shares of hayground, which was subsequently increased to three, and he surrendered 5 acres on the Mystic Side. On 13 January 1636/7 the Charlestown selectmen 'agreed to allow Goodman Learned a portion of marsh by his house agreed upon by Goodman Richeson & Goodman W[illia]m Baker for his haylot by Mr. Gibbon's which he yieldeth up to the town'. In 1637, he had a 10-acre lot (number 7 on the Mystic Side)[6], and another 5 acres of land on the Mystic Side[1,13]. In addition, 'W[illia]m Lernett' had 3.75 cow commons that year. In the Mystic Side allotments of 23 April 1638 he received portions of 15, 40 and 5 acres. Thus, in the 1638 Charlestown Book Of Possessions, 'William Lernett' had 7 parcels of land: three acres of arable land and meadow, along with a dwelling house next to the 'Olde Meeting House'; four acres arable land in the East Field; 3.75 cow commons; two acres of meadow in the Mystic Marshes; five acres of woods in the Mystic Field; fifteen acres of woods in the Mystic Field next to the Common; and forty acres of land in the Rock Field. The 3.75 cow commons were further noted in an inventory of 20 December 1638. William signed the petition on 10 February 1634/5 which established the office of the Selectman in Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA. He himself served as Selectman in 1636. On 26 April 1638, William was named to the Charlestown committee 'to consider of some things tending towards a body of laws &c'. Anderson uses this as evidence of his higher education level. On 16 November 1637 'Will[iam] Larnet acknowledged his fault in subscribing the seditious writing [in favor of Rev. John Wheelwright], & desiring his name to [be] crossed out, it was yielded his, & crossed'. The case of the Reverend John Wheelwright involved the Antinomian movement of the 1630s in the Boston Area. Bucking church authority was a part of Wheelwright's nature, it would seem. Whilst a preacher in England, he was censured for non-conformity for his embrasure of Puritan sentiments. After arriving in Boston, Suffolk co., MA in 1636, he was soon suspected of following the Antinomian tenets proposed by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Anne Hutchinson. Thus, he was censured again, this time by the Puritan government under Governor John Winthrop after delivering a sermon at Mount Wollaston (now Quincy), Norfolk co., MA, disfranchised and banished. Unlike most Antinomian banishees, he went north to Maine instead of south to Rhode Island. Ever the contrarian... Wheelwright was forgiven in the 1650s when the hysteria over Antinomianism wore off. On 22 April 1606 when William was 25, he first married Goodith GILMAN, in St. Olave, Southwark, Surrey, England. Goodith died sometime after 1632 in Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA. It is worth noting that 'Goodith' is neither a corruption of 'Goodwife' nor 'Judith', as has been proposed in several books, but her given name in its own right."
See "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Vol. 2," Robert Charles Anderson (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1995), pp. 1164-1166, and "Pioneers of Massachusetts - 1620-1650," Charles Henry Pope (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2013), p. 281.
Descendant Fred Learned (President, Caloosa Chapter, FLSSAR) commented via email (April 2005): "Yes and except.... Learned Family book and thus most reference his wife as Goodwife Gilman because a couple of this name where admitted members of new church at Charles Town. Sarah was her name at her death at Malden. She is referred to as widow Jane when her estate is inventoried. We believe that he only married once, to a woman named Sarah (Jane) Gilman. Sarah is the name of numerous first born female descendents, including his son Isaac and daughter Sarah, whose 1st daughter is Sarah. The name Jane is NOT FOUND anywhere within our family for generations. Reference to widow Jane may be they did not know her name. "
"Planters of the Commonwealth," Charles Edward Banks (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2006), p. 76, lists William ("probably of Bermondsey, Surrey") as arriving in 1630 in the Winthrop Fleet.
