Biography

Marie D. Emerson was born about July 1908 in Ouray, Ouray Co., CO.1 She married William Hoyt Mitchell on 16 August 1938 in Orange Co. (probably), CA,

"Intention to marry" reported in the 13 AUG 1938 edition of the Santa Ana Register, p.3. William was previously married in 1924 to Mirnette Lucille Collins.

Marie D. Emerson lived on 6 May 1940 in El Monte Twp., Los Angeles Co., CA.2

Note: No definitive records found after the 1940 census. It appears the marriage did not last long after 1940 -- William gave another person's name as his next-of-kin on his 1942 WW II draft registration, and the Los Angeles addresses from California voter registration rolls for Mrs. Marie D. Mitchell and William H. Mitchell do not match.

He attended high school at the Williston Academy in Easthampton, Massachusetts (now known as the Williston Northampton School) where he lettered in soccer, basketball and baseball. He completed his undergraduate degree at Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont. He was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He obtained a master's degree in Spain, and completed his PhD in Spanish at Indiana University.

While at IU, he fell in love with a beautiful Hoosier named Jane Wedding, who was studying for her master's degree in English. They were married in Frankin, Indiana, on June 8, 1968.

Rick's career started at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, where he was an assistant professor of Spanish. His son Blake was born there in 1971. Rick then joined his brother Steve on the faculty of their alma mater, Williston. After two years and the birth of son Cameron, the family moved to Duluth in 1974. Rick taught Spanish language and literature at UMD for over 34 years. His primary area of expertise was 16th and 17th century literature, but he equally enjoyed teaching freshmen to speak the Spanish language. He officially retired in 2008 and began spending winters in Boynton Beach, Florida, but he continued teaching classes at UMD periodically during fall semester. The day he died he spent the afternoon reading and taking notes in preparation for future teaching.

Rick was an active member of Glen Avon Presbyterian Church for many years. He also enjoyed his Wednesday "golf therapy group," and doubles tennis. Rick and Jane were members of long-lasting bridge groups, including one that has met continuously for over 35 years.

He was known for his dry sense of humor, his devotion to family and friends, and his work ethic. According to Rick's second grade report card, "Ricky's success is due, not only to his native intelligence, but also to his well-rounded interests and many fine character traits. In any work Ricky can be depended on to do his best."

Rick is survived and will be dearly missed by his wife of over 46 years, Jane Wedding Seybolt; his sons Blake (Raven), and Cameron (Katie); four grandchildren; his brother Stephen (Phyllis); his sister-in-law Mary Ann Wedding; and many dear friends from his childhood, working life, and retirement.



He was buried in May 2015 in Forest Hill Cemetery, Duluth, St. Louis Co., MN, Findagrave #146870526.
