Edward H. Lingo
Edward H. Lingo, born October 12, 1838 at Millsboro, Delaware, died January 27, 1927 at Denison, Grayson County, Texas, was a Texas lumberman.〔Frank W. Johnson with Ernest William Winkler, Eugene C. Barker (ed.): ''A History of Texas and Texans'', The American Historical Society, Chicago and New York, 1914, vol. 3, pp. 1164-1165.〕 In later life he was described as "()he oldest and staunchest exponent of the industry in the state of Texas, and a man esteemed and admired by a nationwide following of friends"; an appreciation published in 1914 in the ''Gulf Coast Lumberman'' states that he was a "remarkable man from a variety of viewpoints…one of the original organizers of the Lumberman's Association of Texas, and one of the ex-presidents of the association...long a strong adherent and abettor of that organization and a power in its councils. He is one of the most progressive men in the industry...a favorite with both the young and the old—famous for the virile optimism that makes him a figure of natural prominence in any lumber gathering."〔Murry Hammond: "Biography of Edward H. Lingo" in: ''Biographies of Prominent Railroad Officers and Lumbermen'', http://www.ttarchive.com/library/Biographies/Lingo-EdwH_HistTexans.html, accessed 21 May 2010.〕
He moved from Delaware to Chillicothe, Missouri in 1852 with his widowed mother. After attending Central College at Fayette, Missouri, he first went into business as a dry goods merchant, worked for several years in California, and in 1867 began his long and noteworthy career as a lumberman. In 1872 he moved to Denison, Grayson County, Texas, which had recently become a railroad town and a center of population and industry, and entered a partnership with J. P. Leeper & Company, later Waples, Lingo & Company. In 1888 he was founding partner of the firm of Burton-Lingo Company, which became one of the great lumber firms of the Southwest and was an important factor in town construction in Texas.〔See http://www.odessahistory.com/bl1903.htm for one example.〕 He served as president of the Texas Lumbermen's Association and was a prominent supporter of the Episcopal Church in Texas.〔David Edwin Platter: ''A History of the Platter Family from about the Year Sixteen Hundred to the Present Time'', Cleveland, Ohio, 1919, p. 69, http://books.google.com/books?id=1mNIAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA69&lpg=PA69&dq=%22Lingo+Lumber%22&source=bl&ots=4VAuqXcvfX&sig=yzqASeYXmkN4-yZSG9LAAWiL4nc&hl=en&ei=x5UCTOaGH8GBlAfQlNyiCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CCAQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=%22Lingo%20Lumber%22&f=false.〕 at Dallas, Texas, which continued as a family business with his son as manager.〔Johnson et al, 1914, pp. 1164-1165.〕 He also organized the Lingo-Leeper & Company lime yard firm, which expanded to more than fifty cities and towns in North Texas and Oklahoma. In later years, he founded the Lingo Lumber Company〔Platter, 1919, p. 69.〕 at Dallas, Texas, which continued as a family business with his son as manager.〔Johnson et al, 1914, pp. 1164-1165.〕
