Pullman's Palace Car Co. founder and president George M. Pullman died October 19, 1897. Under the terms of his will Norman B. Ream and Robert T. Lincoln were appointed executors of the estate, which by 1900 was valued at $17,500,000.

Principal legatees were Pullman's wife, Hattie Sanger Pullman, and his two daughters. Philanthropic bequests included $130,000 to be divided among several institutions and $1,200,000 to establish a manual training school in the town of Pullman, Illinois. Although the estate was settled in 1900, estate business continued for several more years.
