the defunct I. 51. Asher Lumbor Company of Cin- 

 cinnati, wliorcby tlip Farmers and Traders Na- 

 tional Banli must turn over to tlie creditors a 

 sum of $10..jOO. wliicb is the remainder after 

 deducting from the original creditors' claim. 

 4i6.O0O loaned by the bank to the company, to 

 which the trustee decided the bank was entitled. 

 Thus, unless the decision is reversed in the court 

 of appeals, the creditors will receive a consider- 

 able dividend on their claims. 



At tlie time of its bankruptcy, the I. M. Asher 

 Lumber Company owed $25,000 and bad assets 

 of $2. .500. During the two years and a half during 

 which it existed, the company had paid consider- 

 able money to the Farmers and Traders National 

 Bank. After the liquidation of the company, the 

 trustee sued the bank on tlie grounds that tbe 

 checks as paid over to it by Mr. Asher were on 

 jiccount of his personal indebtedness to tlie bank. 

 and not for any obligations incurred by the com- 

 pany. The trustee maintained in his suit that 

 the payment of SIO.OOO in this manner bad so 

 tindermined the financial condition of the com- 

 pany that it necessarily had to litiuidate.

The Demise of E. E, Goodlander 



Universal regret, not only in his home city, 

 but over a large portion of the United States, 

 where be was known and most highly respected, 

 was occasioned by the death on Friday morning, 

 October 1.8, of E. E. Goodlander, at his home 

 in Memphis. Tenn. His death was due to an 

 illness of several weeks of meninsitis. He was 

 attacked by this dread malady while at lunch at 

 the Peabody hotel about three weeks ago, and 

 regained consciousness for only a few hours 

 since that time. Early last week it was thought 

 he was better, but death suddenly overtook him. 



Mr. Goodlander was president of the Good- 

 lander-Eobertson Lumber Company, one of the 

 foremost jobbing hardwood houses of Memphis, 

 which has been built up to a substantial and 

 important institution largely through the per- 

 sonal, efforts of its founder. 



The funeral services were held from the family 

 residence on Saturday, and the remains placed 

 in a temporary receiving vault in Forest Hill 

 Cemetery. Later they will be transferred to a 

 permanent resting place in a handsome mauso- 

 leum. 



The popularity of Mr. Goodlander in life was 

 attested by the many handsome floral offerings 

 received at time of his funeral from both Mem- 



phi.> friends and others outside of the city. One 

 of the most beautiful of these tributes was given 

 by the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis. 



The active pall bearers were : F. E. Gary, 

 C. L. Wheeler, C. T. Whitman, C. D. Gladden. 

 I'. B. Stonebraker, W. A. Ransom, A. N. Thomp- 

 son and F. B. Robertson. The honorary pall 

 bearers were : J. W. Dickson and the former 

 presidents of the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis, 

 as follows ; J. W. Thompson, E. T. Bennett. 

 E. E. Taenzer, Geo. D. Burgess, W. H. Russe, 

 Geo. C. Ehemann, W. R. Barksdale, S. B. An- 

 derson, W. L. Crenshaw. James E. Stark and 

 S. C. Major. 



Mr. Goodlander was born at Fulton, 111., In 

 1861, but when a boy removed with his parents 

 to Fort Scott, Kan. His first venture in busi- 

 ness was in association with his father who was 

 a prominent manufacturer of furniture. He con- 

 tinued in this line until 1889 when be came to 

 Memphis as traveling salesman for I. M. Darnell 

 & Son. In 1892-94 he was the manager of the 

 Eaton-Darnell Table Company, and in 1895 again 

 f:lled the position of traveling salesman for the 

 former firm. In 1900 he and Frank B. Robertson 

 formed the Goodlander-Robertson Lumber Com- 

 pany, of which he was secretary and treasurer. 

 Mr. Robertson withdrew from the firm in 1907 

 when Mr. Goodlander betame president, being 



THE LATE E. E. GOODLANDER, MEMPHIS. 

 TENN. 



succeeded by L. W. Ford as secretary and treas- 

 urer. He continued at the head of the company 

 until his death. 



5Ir. Goodlander was twice married- His first 

 wife, who died in 1892, was Miss Elizabeth West, 

 and three children survive that union. Misses 

 Catherine, Sabra and Patience. His second wife 

 was Mrs. Evelyn Knapp who had two children 

 at the time of the marriage. 



Mr. Goodlander was prominently identified 

 with the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis, of which 

 lie was a charter member and which he served as 

 president for one year. His house was a mem- 

 ber of the National Hardwood Lumber Associa- 

 tion, the National Lumber Exporters' Association 

 and the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' As- 

 •sociation. He was also a member of the follow- 

 ing other lumber organizations : Lumbermen's 

 Club, Chicago ; Lumbermen's Club. New York 

 Cit.v, and the American Club. Mexico City. The 

 Business Men's Club of Memphis also claimed him 

 as a member as did the Tennessee and Chickasaw 

 clubs, both social organizations. 



Not a death has occurred in the ranks of the 

 hardwood fraternity for years that has caused 

 such universal sorrow in the trade as that of 

 Mr. Goodlander. Such was his character, and 

 such the appreciation in which he was held by all
