In early colonial days there came from England two brothers by the name of
\nRandolph, who settled in Roanoke County, Va. Three sons of each moved to North
\nCarolina and settled along the Great Peedee River. To this source many of the
\nbest families of our country can be traced. The old English Randolph, by
\ncorruption has become Randol, Randal, and Randle, while others retain the
\noriginal Randolph, and many of this stock have become eminent as ministers,
\nphysicians, military men and educators; but few as lawyers. Our subject,
\nProf. Edwin H. Randle<\/strong>, traces his lineage to this source. On his father’s
\nside (one of the brothers), Maj. John, Wilson and George; on his mother’s side
\n(the other brother), William, Peyton and Susan Randle, our subject’s parents
\nbeing George and Susan Randle. They were brought from North Carolina to
\nStewart County, Tenn. when small. After marriage they moved to West
\nTennessee, and spent the remainder of their days. They had six sons and three
\ndaughters, our subject being the only one living. He was born December 18,
\n1830, in Henry County, and was educated at Andrew College, at Trenton, Tenn.,
\ngraduating there in 1856, and has since been engaged in educational work. In
\n1860 he married Letitia Alexander, by whom he had one son — Samuel T. Mrs.
\nRandle died three years after their marriage. During the latter part of the
\nwar he served in Buford’s division of Forrest’s cavalry, and was assistant
\nsergeant in the quartermaster’s department. In 1869 Prof. Randle married
\nSarah A. McPherson, by whom he had three children: Mary W., Malcolm M. and
\nEdwin I. Prof. Randle has been a close student and a useful man in the field
\nof education. In 1856 he established Caledonia College, at Caledonia, Henry
\nCo., Tenn., and was at the head of it until it was burned during the war. He
\nafterward established, in the same county, the Paris Female College, and with
\nHenry C. Irby founded McKenzie (now McTyeire) Institute, and held a joint
\nprincipalship for six years; then taught four years in Paducah, Ky., and in
\n1881 moved to Ripley and has since had charge of the school. Prof. Randle has
\nwritten some able articles for the leading periodicals. Among the number are
\n“Tyranny of the Cassics” and the “Bacteria of Disease,” and he has in
\nmanuscript a valuable scientific work in two volumes: Vol. I, “Scientific
\nInterpretation of Genesis;” Vol. II, “The Plurality of the Races in the light
\nof the Bible, of Science and of History — Anti-Darwinism.” Prof. Randle is
\njustly considered a learned man and a fine educator.<\/p>\n
