Edward H. Lingo, born October 12, 1838 at Millsboro, Delaware, died January 27, 1927 at Denison, Grayson County, Texas, was a Texas lumberman. In later life he was described as "[T]he oldest and staunchest exponent of the industry in the state of Texas, and a man esteemed and admired by a nationwide following of friends"; an appreciation published in 1914 in the Gulf Coast Lumberman states that he was a "remarkable man from a variety of viewpoints…one of the original organizers of the Lumberman's Association of Texas, and one of the ex-presidents of the association...long a strong adherent and abettor of that organization and a power in its councils. He is one of the most progressive men in the industry...a favorite with both the young and the old—famous for the virile optimism that makes him a figure of natural prominence in any lumber gathering."
