Charles Moran (October 31, 1811 – July 22, 1895) was an American business man and president of the Erie Railroad from 1857 to 1859.〔Edward Harold Mott ''(Between the Ocean and the Lakes: The Story of Erie ).'' Collins, 1899. p. 464〕 == Biography == Charles Moran was born at Brussels, Belgium in 1811. He came to New York City while a young man and engaged in business, becoming in time senior partner in the dry-goods commission and importing house of Moran & Iselin. This firm was dissolved in 1852, Mr. Moran retiring. He had won an enviable reputation as a careful and successful business man, and as his bent was toward finance, he founded the New York banking-house of Moran Bros.〔David F. Myrick (2007) ''Railroads of Nevada and Eastern California: The northern roads.'' p. 350〕 The foreign correspondence of the house was particularly extensive and of high class, which fact gave Mr. Moran extraordinary opportunity for the placing of American loans abroad.〔 It was his success in this way in 1856, with a large Erie loan, that made him a conspicuous figure in railroad financiering, and turned the attention of the Erie toward him in a time of emergency, and induced it to call him to the management of its critical affairs. He became president of the Company on the eve of the great financial upheaval of 1857, the disastrous effects of which harassed and hampered his earnest efforts in the herculean task he had undertaken, all through his two years' administration.〔See Edward Harold Mott (1899) Chapter XII "Administration of Charles Moran," p. 123-129.〕 Few men would have faced the obstacles he encountered, much less have attempted to overcome them. Mr. Moran retired from the Erie management, August, 1859, and gave his entire attention to his banking business. He continued as senior partner of the house he founded until his death, July 22, 1895.〔 Charles Moran had two sons, Amedee Depau Moran and D. Comyn Moran, who succeeded him in his banking business.〔
