FORWARD
As the recollections and research that went into this story got under way, it became obvious that there wasn't room for everything. It is admitted in all candor and without wishing to offend anyone that there have been omissions, particularly in mentioning all who have played important parts in the development of Bogalusa. The author has tried to relate only the facts and occurrences of the earlier days of the Magic City of the Deep South which seemed to be of general interest.
To those of the older generation who read the story, the happenings may seem like only yesterday. It is hoped that a sense of surprise and discovery will be given to the readers who are too young to remember the era.
Ce sont toujours les aventuriers qui font de grandes choses.
(They are always the adventurers who make large things.)

This New Orleans Great Northern Railroad "Capital Stock" Certificate was owned by Frank Henry GOODYEAR (issued on July 24, 1917 and cashed in on April 21, 1920).
Frank Henry GOODYEAR (born: March 17, 1849 in Groton, Tompkins
County, New York - near Cortland, Cortland County, New York - died: May 13,1907
in Buffalo, New York of Bright's disease - kidney disease).
Walter P. COOKE, Trustee of his estate signed it.
"Walter P. Cooke, who had been general counsel of the Company (Great Southern Lumber Company) since the death of Marlin E. Olmsted, was elected to the position of chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Cooke, the leading citizen of his time in Buffalo (New York), had assumed the executive responsibility of guiding the Company's affairs during the war years. His wise counsel contributed much to the success of the business in the South." - p.132, Bogalusa Story
Frank Henry GOODYEAR was one of the founder of city of Bogalusa; Great Southern Lumber Company; New Orleans Great Northern Railroad; etc.
Frank Henry GOODYEAR married Josephine LOONEY (daughter of Robert LOONEY, a lumberman, had employed Frank as a $35 a month employee). Children: Grace Esther GOODYEAR Depew Potter; Josephine GOODYEAR Sicard; Florence GOODYEAR Wagner Daniels; and Frank Henry GOODYEAR, Jr.
Frank Henry GOODYEAR, Jr. (born: February 20, 1891 in Buffalo, NY - died in a car accident in Oct. 13, 1930 near Buffalo, NY) married Dorothy Virginia KNOX on October 23, 1915 in Buffalo, NY. Children: Dorothy Knox GOODYEAR Wyckoff; Frank Henry GOODYEAR, 3rd; Marjorie Knox GOODYEAR Bacon Wilson; Robert Millard GOODYEAR.
"The Goodyears left Sullivan to perfect the plans for the mill and prepare the requisitions for the vast amount of machinery, equipment, and materials so that inquiries could be sent out by Conger for competitive quotations. Frank and Charles, meanwhile, turned their attention to finances and to the plans for a city that was eventually to house 15,000 people.
The bond issue for the railroad, which had been incorporated as a common carrier under the name of the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad Company, and the first-mortgage debentures for the Great Southern Lumber Company, were floated without difficulty. After this initial financing, neither company needed additional outside capital to carry on its business.
Harvey Murdock, who had planned several real-estate developments on Long Island and in the environs of New York City, was engaged to draft plans for the city of Bogalusa. The idea of a lumber town being laid out systematically by a landscape architect was unheard of. Generally, such a town more nearly resembled a mining community in the West where the streets grew out of original wagon roads and cowpaths. But it was never the intention of the builders of Bogalusa to create what would become a ghost town after sawmill operations came to an end with the exhaustion of the timber supply.
The plans for the city were studied carefully by the Goodyears, who suggested many changes, additions, and omissions in the preliminary sketches. The final draft of Murdock's map showed three residential areas; a business section; plots for public buildings, such as a city hall, a hospital, and schools; and several parks, the largest of which was to be called Goodyear Park.
Bogue Lusa Creek divided the townsite. To the south of the creek, the Company proposed to build 850 homes to be rented to employees." - page 75, Bogalusa Story
