Biography

Ed Killian (1876-1928) brought his left-handed pitch to the Detroit Tigers, where his precision and endurance made him a reliable presence on the mound. He posted a commendable record and was admired for competing with quiet dignity.

After his baseball days, he stayed close to the community, sharing stories with young ballplayers and lending a helping hand to those who needed encouragement; Woodlawn Cemetery is a place of quiet remembrance for his generous spirit.
