    "For sixteen years Edwin Randall has now been a resident of Danville and during that time has become prominently identified with the industrial interests of the city, being today president of the company operating the Eureka Lumber & Planing Mills. He is of English birth, born in London, February 8, 1874, and is a son of James and Eliza (Reed) Randall, who spent their entire lives in that country. The father was a brick and tile manufacturer at Bedford, where he died May 18, 1892, but the mother is still living and continues to reside in England.

    Edwin Randall was principally reared and educated in Bedford and remained a resident of his native land during his minority. It was in 1896 that he crossed the ocean and came to the United States, making his home in Danville since that time. For the first eight years of his residence here he engaged in farming in Newell township, Vermilion county, but in 1904 began contracting along building lines in Danville and two years later established the Eureka Lumber & Planing Mills, which were incorporated with Mr. Randall as president and treasurer; E. M. Watson, vice president; and Mrs. Randall as secretary. They manufacture all kinds of building material and employ on an average from eight to ten men. Their business has doubled each year from the beginning and their trade extends throughout the surrounding country.

    Danville, March 1, 1898, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Randall and Miss Kate M. Gritton, a native of this county, and to them has been born one son, Harold, whose birth occurred in Danville, May 7, 1900. In religious faith they are Methodists and in his social relations Mr. Randall is connected with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the One Hundred Thousand Club. Since becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States he has affiliated with the republican party but has taken no active part in politics aside from voting. He is a progressive, wide-awake business man of known reliability, and the success that has come to him is but the just reward of his own industry and good management.
