CHARLES E. ELSASS (See photograph on front cover page) Mr. Elsass was born at Chillicothe, Ohio, January 17, 1873. His connection with our organization dates from the time Mr. Ritter took over the Raleigh Lumber Company plants, which was in the latter part of the year 1906, he having previously been in the employ of the old company at Raleigh, W. Va. At that time Mr. Elsass was general office man at Raleigh, later being promoted to the position of Superintendent. In the spring of 1908, when the General Field Office was moved from Panther to Bluefield, W. Va., Mr. Elsass was transferred there, succeeding Mr. Frank W. Seidel as Chief Clerk to the General Superintendent, Mr. J. Mortimer, Jr., and in addition to these duties he handled the work of the former purchasing agent, Mr. Chas. H. A. Rupp. He remained there until that office was abolished and the three Division Superintendents were appointed. By choice he went with Mr. George W. Litz, who was made Division Superintendent of the Third Division, at Hurley, Va., as office man. A little later he was made Superintendent of the "big" mill at Paw Paw, remaining there for about two years. When the construction of the Hazel Creek mill was started, he was sent to that point to superintend the work, and after the mill was completed and ready to operate, he was transferred to Peter Creek to wind up the affairs of the old Delorme Lumber Co., in which Mr. Ritter was personally interested. On July 5, 1911, Mr. Elsass was again transferred, this time to the Columbus office, taking the position of Credit Man, which he has since held. ^c' SOME SCRAP! Mr. W. M. Ritter (right) and Mr. Kearns (left) having a boxing match at Brown's Creek in 1897. F. B. Pryor is the young man who is timing the match.

“The Hardwood Bark” was a publication produced “for the employees of the W.M Ritter Lumber Co.” William McClellan Ritter (1864-1952) organized the company in 1901 and, from 1903 until 1926, the company operated on Hazel Creek in Swain County, North Carolina, before moving its operations to Nantahala. Published during the 1920s, the monthly newsletter typically ran to about 25 pages. “The Hardwood Bark” was filled with articles on the Ritter company and the timber industry, but also included local stories. The pages included in this collection were selected because they relate to communities within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The town of Ritter was near the junction of Hazel Creek and the Little Tennessee River; a sawmill was built at Proctor, about four miles north of Ritter. The town of Ritter has long since been abandoned and Proctor is beneath the waters of Fontana Lake.
