Edwin Earle Honey

Edwin Earle Honey (May 2, 1891 – October 31, 1956)[1][2] was an American plant pathologist and mycologist.[3] In 1936, he formally described the fungus and plant pathogen Monilinia azaleae,[4] which preys upon crops and other plants in the families Rosaceae and Ericaceae.

Honey was born in Illinois.[1] He was married first to Mary Luella Trowbridge (1894–1941),[5] and later to Mrs. Ruth R. Honey.[2]

In 1920 Honey lived in Champaign, Illinois;[1] and in 1935 he lived in Madison, Wisconsin.[1] Depending on where he was employed, Honey also lived for times in Shorewood, Wisconsin,[1] Philadelphia,[1] and New York state.[1]

Honey received his B.S. degree in plant pathology from Cornell University in 1916,[6] and was a member of the Sigma Xi (ΣΞ),[6] an international honor society for scholars in fields of science or engineering.

Starting in 1948, and until his death in 1956, Honey was a plant pathologist in the Extension Division of Pennsylvania State University.[2] He is buried in Centre County Memorial Park in State College, Pennsylvania.[7]
