Biographical Note

Edwin Maurice Gill was born July 20, 1899 in Laurinburg, N.C., the son of Thomas Jeffries and Mamie (North) Gill. Gill attended Trinity College from 1922-1924, and thereafter practiced law in Laurinburg, N.C. He was elected to represent Scotland County in the North Carolina General Assembly from 1929-1931. At the conclusion of his term, Gill became private secretary to Gov. 0. Max Gardner. In 1933, Gov. J. C. B. Ehringhaus appointed Gill to head the North Carolina Paroles Commission. He served in this capacity until 1942, when Gov. J. Melville Broughton appointed him as Commissioner of Revenue. Edwin Gill joined the Washington, D.C. law firm of former Gov. 0. Max Gardner in 1949, and was appointed collector of internal revenue in North Carolina by President Harry S. Truman in 1950. In 1953, Gov. William B. Umstead appointed Gill as State Treasurer, an office which he held until 1976. Edwin Gill died July 16, 1978, and is buried in Laurinburg, N.C. (Source: Powell, W.
