were E. T. Judd, president, C. K. Robinson, cashier, and L. A. Clark, Teller (Author not identified on title page, (1881). History of Saginaw County, Michigan; together with sketches of its cities, villages and townships, educational, religious, civil, military and political history; portraits of prominent persons and biographies of representative citizens, and history of Michigan. Illustrated. p. 541. Chicago:	Chas. C. Chapman &
Co.). Judd was president of this bank for many years; he was listed as a banker in 1870, 1880, and 1893 (letter, Byrne, G. J., to Scharff, R. G., August 26, 1994). In later years, he engaged in lumbering and filled the office of treasurer of the Saginaw, Tuscola & Huron Railroad; he was also president of the board of public works of East Saginaw (Mills, James Cooke (1918). History of Saginaw County Michigan, vol I, p.444. Saginaw: Seeman and Peters, Publishers).
The other two partners were also partners in the firm of Hallenbeck & Gilbert, a lumber company at 406 Eddy Bldg, East Saginaw, Tel. 321 (from Saginaw, Michigan City Directory, 1893-94) .
Goddard owned extensive lands in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Colorado and Mississippi. He spent the years 1878 and 1880 in looking after his interests in Silverton, Colorado, and also visited that place in 1890. In his later years, much of his attention was given to the business of the Goddard Lumber Company, of Logtown, Miss., of which he was President (from Goddard's obituary - in The Saginaw Courier-Herald, 7/14/1893, p.5) .
Logtown was strictly a sawmill town. Two lumber mills were in operation there during the eighties and early nineties. One of these mills was located on the east bank of the Pearl River south of Boguehoma Bayou. It was owned and operated by the E. G. Goddard Lumber Company of Saginaw, Michigan. Goddard and his associate, a Mr. Judd, also of Saginaw, were joint owners of the business. They were exceptionally enterprising people and they added considerably to the development of the town by building several large houses for the company's officials and employees, operating a commissary, and erecting a large boarding house"
(Baxter, 19 42).
Goddard's sawmill was a big enough operation that Goddard owned his own boats to haul his lumber (Thigpen, 1965A; p.83). "The Goddard people also built at Logtown a large freight or lumber-carrying steamer named the Dial which operated on the Pearl River and the Gulf of Mexico for many years. It was quite an occasion when this boat was launched at Logtown.
