Edward Waller Claypole was born in June 1835 at Ross, Herefordshire, England, the eldest of the six children of Edward Angell Claypole, a Baptist minister, and Elizabeth (Blunt) Claypole.
Edward was educated by his father in classics and mathematics. In 1852, at the age of seventeen, he passed the matriculation examination of the University of London, but owing to certain restrictions did not receive his Bachelor of Arts degree until ten years later. In 1888 he obtained the degree of Doctor of Science.
Claypole's first inspiration toward natural history was due to the influence of two sisters of his mother who encouraged him to collect plants and fossils from nearby quarries. He began teaching while quite young at Abingdon, and in 1866 became tutor in classics and mathematics at Stokescroft College in Bristol. His liberal tendencies in matters pertaining to evolution soon brought him into difficulties. This, together with the death of his wife in 1870 and his failure to procure a professorship in mathematics, caused him in 1872 to cross the Atlantic in the hope of finding a more liberal atmosphere. In 1873 he was appointed professor of natural history in Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio, where he remained for eight years, leaving in 1881 to accept an appointment on the staff of the Geological Survey of Pennsylvania under Lesley. He remained here but two years, accepting in 1883 an appointment as professor of natural sciences in Buchtel College, Akron, Ohio. In 1898 he was appointed professor of geology and biology at the Throop Polytechnic Institute at Pasadena, California.
Claypole was more a naturalist of the old school than a modern geologist. A large portion of his geological papers dealt with stratigraphic and paléontologie matters, though he wrote also on glacial questions and occasional physical problems, like the “level of no strain” in the earth, the conditions of the earth's interior, and Pennsylvania before and after the elevation of the Appalachian Mountains, in this last attempting to show that the distance along a straight line crossing the range had been actually reduced by some 65 miles by the process of folding.

Dr. Claypole was a member of the Geological Societies of London, Edinburgh, and America, the American Philosophical Society of Pennsylvania, the American Society of Psychical Research, and several smaller and local societies devoted to various subjects.
Claypole was of a modest and retiring disposition, caring nothing for display, thoroughly unselfish, and, though of a serious temperament, full of good-fellowship. As a teacher he had a genuine interest in his pupils, willing to go to any length to help but demanding the best in return.
Quotes from others about the person
“Teaching was his profession and he taught all his working life except two years when he was on the Geological Survey of Pennsylvania. For nearly a third of a century he taught many things, nearly the whole curriculum of an ordinary college at different times, and everything with equal facility, but his specialty was the natural sciences and particularly geology. His early ambition was to be a civil engineer, not a teacher. He might have made a good engineer, but it is certain he was a teacher born, as truly as men are born gentlemen or geniuses”.
Claypole married first, in 1865, Jane Trotter of Coleford, England, who died in 1870 before his coming to America, leaving a young son and twin daughters but a few weeks old; in 1879, while at Antioch College, he married Katharine Benedicta Trotter of Montreal, a second cousin of his first wife, who survived him but a few days.
