Quote from a Sussex County, Delaware paper. Oct., 1894:
"Edward D. Hearne, Esq., candidate for state senator, is the only son of the late George W. C. Hearne. His mother, Julia H. Hearne, is the daughter of the late Dr. Edward Dingle, who was a delegate from Sussex County to the State Constitutional Convention of 1831.
"In his early youth, and until he was fifteen years of age, Edward D. Hearne worked on his father's farm and attended the the public school in Millsboro and the Laurel Academy when that school was under the management of Profs. Thomas N. Williams and Pro. Thomas H. Breerwood. He afterwards moved with his mother to Georgetown, where he attended school at the academy for three years, when the school was successively under the management of Rev. Wm. H. Edwards, McKendree Downham, Henry C. Carpenter and A. E. Best, until Apr. 4, 1874, when he entered Delaware College as a student, from which institution he graduated with the degree of Ph.B., June 16, 1880. On Jan. 22, 1881, he entered the law office of Hon. Charles M. Cullen, at Georgetown, as a student of law, where he prosecuted his studies until Sept. following, when he entered the law department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, from which he graduated with the degree of LL.B., Mar. 28. 1883; after which he returned home and continued his studies in the office of his preceptor Hon. Charles M. Cullen, until Apr. 14, 1884, when he was admitted to the Sussex Co. bar at Georgetown. where he has since practiced his profession. He was elected clerk of the Del- aware State Senate at the session of 1891, and was nominated by the Democratic party for state senator at the convention held at Georgetown Sept. 11, 1894."
