Laramie newspaper man and humorist.
Edgar Wilson “Bill Nye” (1850-1896) was editor of the Boomerang for two short years and might have continued longer had it not been for a nearly fatal bout with spinal meningitis. The 1883 illness required him to recuperate elsewhere than the Gem City, and left him with a “delicate” constitution, as those who knew him remarked.
