E. H. was reared in his native State, where he acquired the first of his mercantile experience, afterward pursuing the same calling in Philadelphia, and still later in Baltimore. He commenced the manufacture of lumber in Washington County, Mo., about the year 1861, in which line he has since conducted a large and successful business, being recognized as one of the most substantial citizens of the county.
