NOTES
1). mytree.FTW Graduated High School in Monticello, AR and attended a business college in Poughkeepsie, NY. He commenced his career in Little Rock, AR, as a bookkeeperfor Wolf & Bros., a clothing concern. Ed and J. E. England, Sr. organized a real estate firm, Cornish & England in 1900. After this firm had been dissolved about four years later, Ed became president of the American Bank. The American Bank merged in 1911 with the German National Bank. Ed became Vice President of the resulting institution and president of the German Trust Company, which functioned independent of the bank. In 1919, the German National Bank and the German Trust Company merged with the Bank of Commerce to form the American Bank of Commerce and Trust Company, of which Ed became the first vice president. January 11, 1922, Ed was elected president at the dannual election of officers, succeeding the late J. D. Goldman of St. Louis. In 1924, Ed severed his connections with banking interests and disposed of his holdings when the bank merged with the Southern Trust Company to form the American Southern Trust Company. Upon his retirement from banking he became president of the National Cottonseed Products Corporation, with offices in Memphis, TN. He retained this post for two years. He then accepted the presidency of the First National Bank and Trust of West Palm Beach, FL. n June of 1927, the bank collapsed after Ed and his associates had reorganized it with guaranteed total deposits of $1,000,000 and a reserve of $500,000 is required. These financial reverses proved too much for Ed. On November 5, 1928, he committed suicide in what was then known as the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, LA. This was a frequent stopping place during his trips from Little Rock to Florida. The following is from the New Orleans paper New Orleans, Nov 6 Special Wealthy Banker Kills Self in New Orleans Hotel Room. Although the banker left two farewell notes to his wife telling her that he was leaving his fortune to her alone, he gave no reason for the decision to take his life. Coroner George Roeling, who pronounced the case suicide, said that a file of papers found in the man s effects indicated the cause to be financial reverses.
