Because of his position at the National Bank of Franklin, people started to wonder how he could afford such a lavish lifestyle on that salary. In 1926, everything fell apart when three sisters visited the bank to withdraw cash for a memorial gift to the University of the South in honor of their brother, and E.E. refused to give them their money.
