Life and career

Edwin Palmer was born in Christchurch and educated at Christ's College, Christchurch, and Jesus College, Cambridge, where he completed a BA degree.[1]

A left-arm pace bowler, he played cricket for Canterbury in the 1892–93 and 1893–94 seasons. On his first-class debut he took 3 for 22 and 5 for 32 to help Canterbury to a two-wicket victory over Otago.[2] The next season, when a selected player had to withdraw, he played in New Zealand's first representative first-class match, against New South Wales in Christchurch.[3]

On 3 June 1902 he married Edith Tabart at St Mark's Church, Opawa, Christchurch.[4] They bought a sheep farm at Whatatutu, north of Gisborne, and moved there. He served as a member of Waikohu County Council for several years.[1]

He had been in poor health for some time before his death, and travelled to Dunedin for an operation, but it was unsuccessful, and he died at the age of 47.[1] He and Edith had a daughter, Peggy.[5]
