William Hartman Woodin was born May 27, 1868, in Berwick, Pennsylvania. He attended the School of Mines at Columbia University but left before finishing a degree. Woodin spent most of his career in the private sector, starting as president of the American Car and Foundry Company in 1922 and serving as chairman of the board of the American Locomotive Company, the J. B. Brill Company, the Montreal Locomotive Works, and the Railway Steel Spring Company. He would also become a director of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City. Along the way, Woodin became an accomplished songwriter.
He was appointed secretary of the treasury in 1933 but resigned after only one year because of illness and a minor scandal: the Senate Banking Committee had found his name on a list of J. P. Morgan's preferred customers and discovered that he had been given preferred stock options. William Woodin died on May 3, 1934, in New York City.

History of the Treasury
Secretaries of the Treasury
http://www.ustreas.gov/education/history/secretaries/whwoodin.html
William H. Woodin
Mar. 5, 1933 to Dec. 31, 1933
Under President Franklin D. Roosevelt
William H. Woodin was nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to be the 51st Secretary of the Treasury. He served from March 5, 1933 to December 31, 1933.
The country was in the depths of the depression when President Roosevelt named Woodin to be Secretary of the Treasury. On March 9, President Roosevelt called a special session of the Congress. The first act of the new Administration was to declare a "banking holiday," using the authority of the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917. This closed all the banking and financial institutions in the country for ten days. They were allowed to reopen only under regulations that the Treasury Department was charged with enforcing by the new Congress, which had quickly approved the Emergency Banking Act giving the President broad economic powers. It was a time of crisis, and the Secretary of the Treasury faced a tremendous amount of detail, including issuance of millions of new currency in Federal Reserve Bank notes, classification of the closed banks according to liquidity of assets, andmany other activities all designed to restore public confidence.
In a matter of weeks, Woodin delivered a series of orders, supplementing President Roosevelt's executive orders. These controlled the holding, use of, and exporting of gold. The first of the orders was promulgated in April 1933. Woodin, a staunch supporter of candidate Roosevelt in the 1932 campaign and a firm believer in the principles and policies enunciated as the "New Deal," taxed his strength in the successful efforts to restore confidence in the dollar and in the Republic, at home and in other countries. He suffered a breakdown of his health, and was compelled to resign as Secretary by the end of the first year.
Woodin was born May 27, 1868, at Berwick, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Woodridge School in New York, and from the School of Mines of Columbia University in 1890. In 1892, he became General Superintendent of Jackson & Woodin Manufacturing Company, his father's foundry which manufactured steel castings, at Berwick Pennsylvania. He became its President in 1895 when the firm was absorbed into American Car and Foundry Company. Woodin became president of that firm in 1922.
During his career in private industry, Woodin held many directorates in banking institutions, manufacturing concerns, and railroad and shipping firms; served as President of American Car and Foundry Securities Corporation and the same firm's export company. He also was Chairman of the Boards of the American Locomotive Company, the American Car and Foundry Motors Company, the J. B. Brill Company, the Railway Steel Spring Company, and the Montreal Locomotive Works.
He married Annie Jessup of Montrose, Pennsylvania, in 1889, and had four children. He died in New York City on May 3, 1934.

William H. Woodin (1933)
    In 1933 William H. Woodin (1868-1934) was appointed Secretary of the Treasury by his close personal friend President Franklin D. Roosevelt at one of the most critical moments in the nation's history. The financial system of the country had been weakened by the effects of the Depression, including increasing lack of confidence in the banking system and huge withdrawals of deposits. The crisis of 1933 saw massive bank failures, which made the situation worse. Woodin's task was to restore public confidence in the government and to carry out Roosevelt's New Deal policies of fiscal and monetary expansion, which deviated sharply from those of his predecessor.
    To deal with the crisis of 1933, Roosevelt created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an independent agency that insured bank deposits and was designed to increase public confidence in the banks. Woodin devised regulations permitting banks to resume operations and took measures to prevent the hoarding of gold. He resigned after less than a year due to ill health.
-About the Artist
Born in California, Ellen Emmet Rand is the best-known of the third generation of women artists in an illustrious Irish-American family that includes Henry and William James. She is considered one of the earliest truly professional women portraitists in this country. In 1884 she came to New York and studied at the Art Students League with Robert Reid and Kenyon Cox. She did illustrations for Vogue and Harper’s Weekly from 1893-94. Ellen left for Europe in 1896, eventually settling in Paris to study with Frederick MacMonnies. During this time she met John Singer Sargent in London who gave her artistic advice. Sargent, who was a friend of Henry James reported that young Emmet had more talent than any man or women of her age than he had ever seen.
Ms. Rand is noted for her portrait of President Franklin Roosevelt that is in the White House Collection and one of August St. Gaudens which is in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
Secretary Woodin’s portrait was painted posthumously from a photograph, and donated to Treasury by Mrs. Woodin on February 22, 1935.

American Car and Foundry Company, Berwick, PA
The origins of the American Car and Foundry Company in Berwick began with Mordecai W. Jackson in 1840 who built a foundry to manufacture agricultural implements on the corner of Third and Market Streets. William Hartman Woodin, who operated a furnace and foundry at Foundryville on the north side of Berwick, agreed to form a partnership with Jackson that became the Jackson and Woodin Manufacturing Company. The firm soon expanded and by 1860 began to manufacture railroad cars, and with the advent of the Civil War experienced significant growth.
When American Car and Foundry Company acquired the Jackson and Woodin Manufacturing Company in 1899, the Berwick plant had become the largest manufacturer of railroad cars in the eastern United States, and by 1907 it employed 5,700 workers. It also had the distinction of manufacturing the first all steel passenger cars for standard railroad service. After World War II broke out in Europe on September 1, 1939, the Berwick plants soon began to make tanks for the United States government. By August 2, 1941, the 1000th tank rolled off the assembly line. In the early 1960s the A.C. & F. operation at Berwick closed its doors which had serious adverse economic impact on the community.

The Jackson & Woodin Manufacturing Company had its origins in 1840 at Berwick, PA, when Mordecai W. Jackson (1815-1880+) and George Mack established a foundry there to produce plows and plow castings, kettles and almost everything that farmers would want. Their works were housed in a 25' x 40' building with an attached shed in which agricultural implements were manufactured. They employed about 15 men.
In 1843, Jackson bought out Mack's interest and took in Robert McCurdy as his new partner. In 1846, he bought out McCurdy's interest. At this point, one source says he continued alone for three years, while another says he associated with Louis Euke. However that may be, during this time the firm began to build heavy wagons in addition to farm implements.
In 1849, Jackson took in William Hartman Woodin (1821-1886) as partner. Woodin had been operating his own furnace and foundry at Foundryville on the north side of Berwick.
Among other things, Jackson & Woodin made the iron pipes laid by the Berwick Water Company in 1850 and bridge castings for the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad in 1858. In 1861, they entered the railway car building business, producing 20 simple four-wheeled cars. (39)
Additional shops were erected, and in 1865 the firm employed 150. On the morning of 17 March 1866 the shops burned to the ground. But they were soon rebuilt to an even larger size, and by 1869 the firm employed 250. In 1872, the shops were directly connected to the Lackawanna & Bloomsburg railroad.
On 1 March 1872, the Jackson and Woodin Manufacturing Company was organized as a Pennsylvania corporation, with Clement R. Woodin, president; Clarence G. Jackson, vice president; Garrick Mallery, treasurer. Mordecai W. Jackson and William H. Woodin, retired from active business, named themselves the executive committee. Both continued to pursue other business interests.
Clement R. Woodin (1844-1898) was the son of W.H. Woodin. He was one of the founders of the Car Trust Company of New York, founded about 1878 with capital of $3 million, to finance car purchases. The function of a car trust was to pay the car builder cash for its production, and then let the railroads pay for the cars in installments. Before such trusts were established, many rail car builders were forced to take railroad bonds in payment for their production -- bonds that could easily become worthless due to the financial machinations of the railroads. By 1886 this firm had issued over $34 million in car trusts. (46)
Clarence G. Jackson (1842-1880) was the son of M.W. Jackson. He went to war at the age of 20 as a 2nd Lieutenant and then pursued a military career, becoming a colonel in the 1870s, and eventually quartermaster-general, a position he held at his death in 1880. During his later years he was also involved in several businesses, including Jackson & Woodin.  (37)
By 1880, the Jackson & Woodin Manufacturing Company was reportedly one of the largest freight car manufacturers in the country.
An 1887 County history  (37) says -
“now they do about $1,500,000 per year, and give employment too about 1,200 men when running at full capacity. The firm also own and operate a large store and do a business from $100,000 to $125,000 per annum. The capacity of the rolling-mill is forty to fifty tons per day of finished iron or merchant bar iron. The car wheel factory manufactures from 150 to 200 wheels per day, and in connection with the wheel foundry they manufacture all kinds of castings. The pipe factory runs twenty-five to thirty tons per day, from three to twelve inches in diameter, used for water and gas. When the works are run under full capacity, 140 to 150 tons of pig iron per day are used. This gives some idea of the work done by them. The car shops have a capacity of twenty cars per day.”
In 1892, William H. Woodin (1868-1934), son of the founder and later Secretary of the Treasury under Franklin D. Roosevelt,  became General Superintendent of the firm, and in 1895 he became its President.
In 1899, Jackson & Woodin was consolidated into the American Car & Foundry Company. It was one of the largest of the 13 companies involved. By then the Berwick plant had become the largest manufacturer of railroad cars in the eastern United States. It would continue to be one of the largest units of the vast American Car & Foundry Company.

American Car & Foundry — Berwick Plant
-American Car & Foundry invested heavily in the Berwick plant. About three million dollars were spent on the purchase of additional land, erection of additional buildings and installation of machinery. By 1902 the Berwick plant had 2,600 employees, with a payroll of $140,000 a month, and a prospect of adding 2,400 more employees when the new facilities then being erected were completed.
-In 1916, William F. Woodin, President of Jackson & Woodin and grandson of the firm’s founder became President of American Car & Foundry.
-By 1940, the Berwick plant—begun in a building only 25' x 40'—encompassed well over 400 acres. (39)
-The Berwick plant was sold by AC&F in 1962.

“....William Hartman Woodin, the only child of our subject, was born May 27, 1868,
in Berwick, where he received his early education in the public schools. At the
age of fourteen years he entered the preparatory department of the Woodbridge
School of Mines, New York City, and completed his technical education in the
School of Mines of Columbia College. Returning to Berwick, he made himself
master of the practical workings of the great institution of which his father
was then president and acquainted himself with every detail, so that now he is
the best informed of the stockholders. He was made a member of the executive
committee, and, after two years in that position, became general superintendent
of the plant and a director of the company. In 1896 he was chosen
vice-president, and is most efficiently filling his father's place. He has won
the highest esteem of his employees and the residents of Berwick. On August 25,
1898, Mr. Woodin was made the nominee of the Republicans of the Seventeenth
Congressional District for Congress, Representative Monroe H. Kulp retiring at
his own request. At the ensuing election in November, Mr. Woodin was defeated.
He represents the young element of his party, and also the business interests of
Berwick, in which he figures both modestly and prominently. He was married
October 9, 1889, to Annie Jessup, daughter of Judge William H. Jessup of
Montrose, Pa., and to them two children have come, namely: Mary, Louise, born in
Scranton, Pa., October 31, 1891; and Annie Jessup, born in New York City on
April 10, 1894.
William Hartman Woodin is a director of the Berwick Water Company, is
secretary and director of the Berwick Electric Light Company, and takes an
active interest in every public-spirited movement directed toward the benefit of
Berwick and its commercial development. It has been a pleasure to him to support
liberally all churches, charitable institutions and schools in Berwick, and no
worthy cause need lack in him a friend in need and a friend indeed.

On March 1, 1899, the entire plant of The Jackson & Woodin Manufacturing
Company was sold to the American Car & Foundry Company, an organization with
$60,000,000 capital, practically embracing all the car manufacturing companies
in the United States. The new company took possession on that date, and is now
operating the business. Fred'k H. Eaton, Esq., nephew of C. R. Woodin, and
former president of The Jackson & Woodin Manufacturing Company, was elected
vice-president of the new company with headquarters at New York City, and
William H. Woodin was elected district manager to operate the plant at Berwick.
Thus the great organization, founded by William Hartman Woodin and M. W. Jackson
in 1842, passes out of existence, and C. R. Woodin, after an active and
successful business career, permanently retires from car manufacturing....”
