WHO'S WHO IN RITTER SERVICE Short Sketches of Men Who Are Making Ritter History MR. E. B. McCOLLUM, Superintendent of our Hazel Creek Operation, was born near Greenville, Tennessee, in 1870. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William S. McCollum, who are both living, aged ninety-five and ninety-three years, respectively, and who look back on sixty-eight years of wedded happiness. Mr. McCollum was reared on a farm and got his schooling in his home county, he and his elder brother "shacking" together (keeping house and cooking for themselves) at Oakland Seminary, now known as Baileyton, Tennessee. He had two years' training in the lumber business before going to work for our Company in 1903, at Pineola, North Carolina, when the logging was still being done on the old wooden rail system, which, however, was replaced by steel rail during Mr. McCollum's stay at that place. Here, also, his first duties as Combination Grader and Tallyman were performed when counting the feet of lumber manufactured was done by moving wooden pegs on a board. He was transferred to Mortimer, North Carolina, in 1905 and placed in charge of shipments. He was promoted to Superintendent of this plant in 1916, and remained in this position until 1917, when he was transferred, in the same capacity, to Hazel Creek. In 1919, he was sent to Macon County, North Carolina, to take charge of the Nantahala property. Here he superintended the manufacture and shipment of lumber that was cut on contract, and made a signal record. In 1923, he returned to Hazel Creek as Superintendent, his present position. Mr. McCollum is thoroughly honest and dependable, of happy disposition, and a conscientious Christian. It is partly because of what Macon County thinks of "Uncle Mack" as he is called by young and old, that the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company has such a good reputation in that County. In 1898, Mr. McCollum was married to Mary Sue Hodge, of Johnson City, Tennessee. They have six children, Lucile, Ruth, Thomas, Philip, John and James, now living at Franklin, North Carolina. Two

“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.
