Ketchum was also a director of the Illinois Central Railroad . During his time on the board, he was able to funnel many of that railroad's locomotive orders to Rogers. Morris Ketchum, with his son Edward B. Ketchum , led the financial firm of Ketchum, Son And Company in New York City . Edward was later found to have embezzled nearly $ 2.5 million to cover his losses in the 1860s ; it was Morris's good reputation that kept the public from suspecting Edward of embezzlement for a time.
