Edward was the son of Chester Huntington and Katherine Smith. He married his wife on July 6, 1909 in Manhattan, NY.
Obituary in Clinton Courier (Clinton NY), Dec 4 1952, p 5:
Edward Vermilye Huntington, 78, native of Clinton, emeritus professor of mechanics at Harvard and an outstanding mathematics authority, died Tuesday, Nov. 25.
He authored four-place tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions and several other mathematical treatises.
In 1941, Congress enacted into law his method of apportioning Representatives after the Senate had appointed him to survey existing methods. Under his system, the number of Representatives remained constant by reducing the number from states showing population losses in national censuses and increasing representation from states with population gains.
A native of Clinton, he was graduated from Harvard in 1895, received his master's degree in 1897 and his doctorate at Strassbourg, Germany in 1901. Since 1942 he was a consultant to the National Defense Research Council. He was a past president of the Mathematical Association of America, and a past vice president of the American Association for Advancement of Science.
He leaves his wife Susie Edwards Van Volkenburgh Huntington.
Memorial services were held Thursday at Harvard Chapel.
