Cline Edmonds arrived in Borger in 1927 with Gulf Oil Corporation and was in charge of their gas gathering, measuring and contract negotiations for the Panhandle and West Texas. He retired from Gulf Oil in 1966 after 40 years of service and became a gas consultant for nearly 20 years until 1986. He was instrumental in forming two consulting groups currently still active in this area. He is credited with several major advances in measurement technology which were assigned to Gulf Oil Corporation.
Cline Edmonds was the son of pioneer oil and gas man, Thomas A. Edmonds, of Ft. Worth, Texas, who was a principal figure in the birth of the Burkburnett oil fields and oil refineries in Ft. Worth, Texas.
He was educated in the Public Schools of Ft. Worth, Kemper Military School, Cornell University and the University of Oklahoma in the areas of Petroleum Geology and Engineering. He was a licensed professional engineer in Texas and was a past president of the Panhandle Chapter of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers. He is listed in the 1980 Edition of the History of Hutchinson County. Mr. Edmonds was a Mason and member of the Isom Lodge of Borger, Texas, having received his 65 year award in honor of his years of service; and a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Borger, Texas.
Cline Edmonds was predeased by his spouse, Flora Love Edmonds, in 1987, who had also arrived in Borger in 1927 to open Love's, one of the earliest ladies fashion stores in the town.
He is survived by his son, Thomas L. Edmonds, of Borger, Texas; a daughter, Virginia Love Turner of Atlanta, Georgia; three grandchildren, Stephanie Sullivan of Amarillo, Texas; Rex Turner of Atlanta, Georgia; Catherine Pope of Tallahassee, Florida, and one great-grandson, Andrew Turner Pope.
The family suggests that memorials may be sent to the Hutchinson County Museum, which will be the recipient of his early oil field memorabilia and equipment on behalf of early Gulf Oil and other friends and associates; or Hospices of the Panhandle.
