Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

THOMAS CLAY EDWARDS, M. D., so widely and favorably known throughout Monterey
county, California, was born in Columbia, Missouri August 24, 1860. His early
intellectual training was received in the public schools of his native place.
When in his fifteenth year he accompanied his mother and sister to California,
his father having died when the Doctor was a mere child. Woodland in Yolo county
was the place selected for their abode. Here young Edwards invested his immature
muscle in the harvest fields during the summer and fed his mental cravings in
the schools of his neighborhood in the winter, till he graduated at Hesperian
College, Yolo county, receiving the degree of A. B., he entered Cooper College,
San Francisco, to prepare himself for the practice of medicine. Here he followed
a course of study for one year, after which he returned East, entered the St.
Louis Medical College, St. Louis, Missouri, where he took three courses, and
received his diploma in March, 1883. Two months after he returned to this State
he located in Salinas, where he has since been engaged in the practice of his
profession.

  Dr. Edwards was united in marriage to Miss Grace McCandless, of Salinas, by
whom he has four children.
