In 1890 Edmond married Anna Louise Meyer at Costilla, New Mexico. There were five children, three of whom survived--Alice E. van Diest, professor of Sociology, Colorado College (retired); Annette Josine van Diest Weldie, manager of Personnel, Hermann Hospital, Houston Texas, and wife of Ralph E. Weldie; Eloise Margaret van Diest Skilling, prominent social leader in St. Louis, Missouri and wife of Dr. David M. Skilling, Jr. who is an eminent internist and diagnostician in St. Louis.
In 1904, a close and valued friendship arose between General Wm. J. Palmer and Edmond C. van Diest, resulting in Mr. van Diest becoming consulting and construction engineer for the Palmer inter- ests. Among the jobs handled and accomplished were: the building of Glen Eyrie, the palatial home of General Palmer; the laying out of Monument Valley Park, extending from the northern limits of the city to the business district of Colorado Springs, a matter of 30 blocks; (the Monument Creek which ran through this area was the basis for the Park's development and playground facilities); assistance in the laying out and development of heating facilities for the Colorado College campus.
At the death of General Palmer in 1909, the City of Colorado Springs asked Mr. van Diest to remain as consulting engineer in order that the plans which General William P. Palmer had for the city which he founded might be finished according to earlier specifications.
Beginning in 1910, Mr. van Diest began his interest in public service companies in Colorado, Utah, Montana and Nebraska. His activities covered ice and storage plants, the establishment of public and private utilities, and the specifications for the building of dams and bridges.
Besides a business career, which was related to the development of many western states, Mr. van Diest was always interested in the social and civic organizations of Colorado Springs. Among these was the Chamber of Commerce in which he was not only a local member, but also became a director of the National Chamber of Commerce. He also assisted in the organization of the Colorado-Wyoming Kiwanis Clubs and raised money for the project which studied child welfare in Colorado and which led to the recommendation of the Colorado Kiwanis to the state Legislature in a Child Welfare Department, including grants in aid, home care, recreation, and institutional management. The study which created the recommendations was made by the Child Welfare League of America. Not only was he a trustee for the Colorado School of Mines, with whom he served for a quarter of a century and honored with a Ph. D. degree, but he also served as a trustee of the Colorado College until his death in 1951, being particularly interested in its buildings and grounds, its athletic field, for which he raised money to increase its size and seating capacity, but was also interested in raising of the faculty standards and salaries.
One of Mr. van Diest's projects which has brought about a lasting memory of General Wm. J. Palmer, as well as controversy, was the erection of the bronze statue of the General on his horse on a marble base at the intersection of Platte and Nevada avenues, where federal highways 85-86 and 24 meet. This statue upon its being placed at the above intersection was by Council order to remain in perpetuity until such time as the people in general election should vote to remove and place it in an equally prominent location.
So many things might be written relative to other activities, such as the study of small businesses in the United States after World War I for the United States Chamber of Commerce, the founding of the Colorado Concrete and Manufacturing Company, and the development of lightning protection which now protects many public buildings such as Grace Episcopal Church, many college buildings, El Pomar, etc.
His friendships were so many because of his many activities within the city that he was known and spoken to whenever he went by all who respected him.

The bound copy books are copies of letters written by van Diest. Of special interest are the set of letters written by Mr.van Diest when he was agent for General William J. Palmer (many are about Glen Eyrie, Monument Valley Park, Wagon Wheel Gap, timber and other interests of General Palmer). There are also two copy books of letters concerning the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad and two copy books dealing with the San Luis Valley and matters there.
This collection is organized in the order it appeared in the most recent boxes. The materials had been transferred some years ago from van Diest's filing cabinets into the boxes and no doubt some of the order was lost. There is not an overall chronological arrangement by year, nor are they organized by subject, although in many sections there is an sequence that possibly reflects E.C. van Diests' order. The collection was processed to the folder level not to the individual piece. Subjects are indicated to the folder level with more detail in some places to aid the researcher.
The 600 maps and drawings are listed and indexed separately.
A letter from E.C.van Diest's daughter which is in the files of Special Collections indicate the School of Mines was given material on the topography and geography of mining interests in Colorado. The Park Department of Colorado Springs also received all maps and identifying material used by van Diest in the lay out of the Park System under General Palmer.
