‘Salt Brine and Stinkers’: The Eddy Family in the Forest Products Industries of Nineteenth-Century Michigan and Quebec
|
| Abstract |
In the 1850s, as the American lumber industry moved west, the Eddy family followed the timber industry to central Michigan. However, one family member, Ezra Butler (E.B.) Eddy, moved to Hull, Quebec, in 1851, and began the production of friction matches. By 1886, E.B. Eddy expanded into the paper industry, and at the time of his death in 1906, his company was valued at over $15 million. In 1870, Eddy was elected to the Quebec Legislative Assembly where he served for five years. In 1881, he was elected mayor of Hull, a position he filled intermittently until 1891. Eddy’s relatives in Michigan operated sawmills and expanded into the salt brine business.
