Notes - E.C. attended college at what is now Upper Iowa University at Tripoli, Iowa. He served in the field artillery in the U.S. Army in World War I. He was a school teacher at Alton, Iowa and at Audubon, Iowa. He left the teaching profession for employment as cashier of a bank at Hull, Iowa, prior to 1922. He left banking for employment with an investment firm, the White-Phillips Company, in about 1927, traveling in northeastern Nebraska from his home in Crete, Nebraska. In about 1928 he was transfered to Fremont, Nebraska. About 1929 he left White-Phillips to form a partnership with one Elmer Gruenig in a new investment firm in Omaha, Nebraska, called the Corporate Securities Co. That firm prospered for a while in spite of the stock marker crash of 1929, but slipped by1933 as the depression deepened. Gruenig left the firm and it had closed by 1935. E.C. got employment for a brief time with PWA, the public works administration formed under the Roosevelt administration to help the unemployment situation. He then found work in Oklahoma working with the campaign for governor of “Ma” Ferguson and later with some oil exploration firms there. Following the entry of the U.S. into World War II he worked as an accountant with the army and its contractors building a camp to train ski troops in Colorado and on the Alaskan Highway. By the end of the war he was working as an accountant at the Panama Canal until retiring to Casselberry, Florida, where as a retirement business he raised rabbits for commercial sale. When his health began to fail, he moved from rural Casselberry to a home on South Glenwood Street in Orlando, Florida. He died in the hospital of a heart condition the morning of New Year’s Day 1972.
E.C. was married to Mildred Gibbs, probably at Alton, Iowa, in the early 1920s. They had two children while living at Hull, Iowa. They were divorced in 1942. He later married Margaret Thompson, probably in late 1942. They had one son, Peter, born Sept. 12, 1943. Both Margaret and Pete are still living.
