Eugene C. Eppley

Eugene C. Eppley (April 8, 1884 – October 14, 1958) also known as Gene, was a hotel magnate in Omaha, Nebraska.〔Erwin, P.F. (1970) "Eugene C. Eppley: His Life and Legacy by Harl Adams Dalstrom - A Review," ''Journal of American History. 57''(2), pp. 466-468〕 Eppley is credited with single-handedly building one of the most successful hotel empires,〔("Important people" ), ''The Gateway.'' University of Nebraska at Omaha. Retrieved 2/2/08.〕 by the 1950s the largest privately owned hotel chain in the United States.〔("Closing the Gap" ), ''Time'', June 4, 1956. Retrieved 2/3/08.〕
==Career==

Eppley was born in Akron, Ohio and was graduated from the Culver Academies in Indiana in 1901.〔(Eugene C. Eppley Club ), Culver Academies. Retrieved 2/3/08.〕 At the age of 19, he bought his first property, the McKinley Hotel in Canton, Ohio. At age 33, in 1917, he formed the Eppley Hotel Company. At its peak in the 1950s, the Eppley Hotel Company owned 22 hotels in six states. Eppley sold the company to Sheraton Hotels in 1956 for $30 million ($235 million in 2008 dollars).
Among many activities, he was a director of Sheraton Hotels, Mid-Continent Airlines and the Mount Rushmore Foundation.〔Denslow, W.R. ''10,000 Famous Freemasons from A to J Part One.'' Kessinger Publishing, LLC. p 23.〕
After purchasing the Hotel Fontenelle in Downtown Omaha in 1920, Eppley lived at his flagship until his death in 1958.〔Dalstrom, H.A. (1969) ''Eugene C. Eppley: His Life and Legacy.'' Johnsen Press.〕 Through those years, he contributed much to the civic life of the city and its educational institutions.
:"He fought hard and held his own... and success was prompted by the love of the game. He was acquisitive and altruistic, proud and modest, but beneath it all humble and compassionate. His life seemed a struggle to keep his soft side from showing. He taught and inspired and disciplined... but exacted more of himself than any other. He was an organizer, leader, teacher, fighter, talker and giver. All of his facets added up to a rather heroic figure."〔Dalstrom, H.A. (1969) ''Eugene C. Eppley: his life and legacy'', Lincoln, NE: Johnsen Publishing Company.〕
