For the last twenty years or mora
Thomas and Robert Smith, brothers "c
cupied a frame building on Rodn4y
street, adj joining Rodney street chape
near Delaware avenue, but last even,
ing death severed the tie that ha, "a
long bound them, and Robert, The
younger of the two. is left almost alone
The career of the deceased has been ,
chequered one, and being possessed of
an unusual amount Of pluck, indp.
pendence and perseverance, he geuc,.
ally succeeded where Others failed.
The deceased was born in York shire
England, May l6, 1909, and was const.
quently in the 74th year of hisage at bis
death. he received good education
for that time In a select school kept Nv
an aunt, and when old enough h.
worked at stone cutting with ID,
father. Having heard encouraging re.
ports about America, he resolved to seek
its shores, and in 1920 he and several
others hired with an agent at Liverpool
to come to Alexandria, Va, where stone
cutters we're in demand.
After working for a month, his EN-.
ployer failed, when young Smith without
a cent of money, and without mouth
ful TO eat on the way came on foot to
Wilmington, where he secured work
from Gideon Jacques, proprietor Of The
Quarryville quarries. Smith and bis
companions were put to work rolling
stones at s. a month, but finding that
S" ith could drill, he was given better
job. Mr.. Smith afterwards worked for
Pu,ney & Riddle, contractors for build
ing the United States Custom House IN
Baltimore at Elicotts' Mills, Nd, and
served five years as foreman at " arg-
quarry in Montgomery County, Pa,
About 1910 he took charge of the New,
man quarries, now on the Riddle
property, but belonging to W. NJ. Fled
and in 1912 he was the contractor ia
paving Chestnut street, Philadelphia
IN 1856 he bought the marble yarl
OF Nelson Cleland, where the Masors
Temple now stands, and when be .oa
that 70 the Masonic Hall Company, he
removed his yard to the corner OF Dca
ware avenue and Tatnall street. II.
has in his time been d very INFLUENZA
and useful citizen and was possrs>tdd
a large amount Of real estate, bul ui~
fortunes over taking him he was abirb
save relatively but small anom
from his creditors. In 1883 he was
married to Catharine Ann Perkins, d
Quarry vile, by whom lie had son, vh
died some twenty years ago. A widow
survives him. Mr.. Smith in poitis
was an old line Wing, and when that
party ceased to exist he became an
dent Republican and supporter OF The
Union cause
