SILL, EDWARD ROWLAND. Born in Windsor, Connecticut, 1841; died in Cleveland,
Ohio, 1887. Edward Rowland Sill was a poet of rare gifts and
his death, when scarcely in middle life, cut short a richly maturing
talent. Most of his life was spent in teaching. After his graduation
at Yale, in 1861, he was first connected with a school at Cuyahoga
Falls, Ohio, but for several years prior to his death was Professor
of English Literature at the University of California.
