Al G. Flournoy Victim of Pneumonia 



Much regret was occasioned in the lumber imlustry. especially in the 

 central West and North, over the death of Al G. Flournoy. which occurred 

 December 4 after an illness of two weeks with influenza which developed 

 into pneumonia. 



Mr. Flournoy was general sales manager of the "Virginia and Rainey 

 Lake Lumber Company of Virginia, Minn., and one of the best known and 

 well liked veteran lumber salesmen in the country. He became associated 

 with this company, which belongs to the Hines interests, in 1009, and three 

 years later was appointed assistant sales manager of the company. He 

 was widely known in the lumber fraternity, being at one time in the Job- 

 bing and commission business in Minneapolis and later associated with the 

 Edward Hines Lumber Company. The deceased was fifty-six years old and 

 is survived by a widow and three sons. 



Sergeant Maurice A. Wall Dies in France 

 Mr. and Mrs. James B. Wall, Mr. Wall being president of the Buffalo 

 Hardwood Lumber Company, Buffalo. N. Y., have finally received word 

 after weeks of terrible suspense that their son. Sergeant Maurice A. Wall, 

 Company E, 311th Infantry, died in a French hospital November 4 of 

 wounds received in battle. 



There had been conflicting reports as to the whereabouts and condition 

 of Sergeant Wall, some of the reports notifying the parents of his having 

 been wounded, whereas there seemed to have been no record in the War 

 Department of this fact. Word came from a comrade, who did not give the 

 details as to where the injuries were received nor as to their nature and 

 extent. Sergeant Wall was formerly employed by the Buffalo Hardwood 

 Lumber Company, Another brother, Lieutenant John H. Wall, has been 

 serving with the spruce production division of the army and has been 

 stationed at Washington. 



Captain Theo. Houston Dies in California 

 Word was received of the death of Theo. Houston, son of Geo. W. 

 Houston of Vicksburg, Miss., and Chicago, HI. Captain Houston died 

 of pneumonia, having been sick about a week. His mother was already 

 on the way to California when news of his death was received at Vicks- 

 burg. The body will be returned East for interment. 



Cooper Goes to Sardis 



M. B. Cooper has resigned his position as sales manager of the Three 

 States Lumber Company to become one of the executive oflBcers of the 

 Carrier Lumber & Manufacturing Company, Sardis, Miss. It is not known, 

 however, just when the resignation vpill become effective, as Mr. Cooper 

 is out of the city and cannot be seen. It is understood though that he 

 will remain with the Three States Lumber Company until the stock of 

 lumber it now has on hand has been disposed of. 



Mr. Cooper is one of the most prominent of the younger lumbermen of 

 Memphis. He was one of the most active members of the famous *'com- 

 mittee of fourteen" which devised ways and means of effecting consoli- 

 dation of the old gum 

 and oak association into 

 the American Hardwood 

 Manufacturers' Associa- 

 tion. He is on the ex- 

 ecutive committee of the 

 latter and is first vice- 

 president of the Lumber- 

 men's Club of Memphis. 

 He has been active in all 

 mattprs relating to the 

 welfare of the lumber 

 industry in general and 

 the interest of Memphis 

 in particular. 



His many friends here 

 regret that he will 

 leave Memphis, but they 

 are congratulating him 

 heartily on the merited 

 advancement which has 

 I'ome to him. The Car- 

 rier Lumber & Manufac- 

 turing Company is one 

 of the largest pro<lucers 

 of southern hardwoods, 

 and it is just now com- 

 pleting its big double 

 hand mill built to re- 

 place the one destroyed 

 by fire early last sum- 

 mer. It will begin operations shortly. 



The tragic death of A. P. Steele, secretary-treasurer of the company, 

 who died here early in October as a result of a gun shot wound acci- 

 dentally inliicted by a friend while out hunting, paved the way for the 

 connection of Mr. Cooper with that firm. It is not known just what his 

 position will be or what his duties will embrace.
