Ed worked for the Logan-Moore Lumber Company in Nevada, Missouri. After about six months work there, Mr. Logan noticed that Ed was quick with figures. In 1904 he sent him to Walker, Missouri to manage the already established yard there. Sales increased in the eight years he worked there. Next Logan-Moore sent him to Appleton City, Missouri to manage the yard there. The family moved to Appleton City in April, 1912.
In 1917 Ed and his son Jesse bought out the Forest Park Lumber Company in Appleton City and established the Herrman Lumber Company. His sons grew up helping about the yard and five of the seven; Jesse, Elvin, Lloyd, Cecil and Fred became lumbermen.
Ed enjoyed good stories, a good joke and a good hearty laugh. He was an athletic, outdoor man who gave his mind and heart to farm life. For recreation, he enjoyed trot-fishing. He was a member of a fishing club limited to twelve members who owned a cabin and some acreage. He was interested in registered animals and generally had several head of registered Jersey cattle, Shropshire sheep, Poland China hogs and Barred Rock chickens.
In 1915 Ed was involved in a near fatal accident. He was run over while trying to stop a team of run-away mules owned by Jack Zink. Ed was confined to his bed for several weeks, suffering an injury to his neck which he carried through life.
