THE history of John Lannon. of Alexandria,
Va, who recently died, is worth repeating. He
came from Ireland, with his mother when
child and early had to work for living. He
got place in the store Of Joseph Broders who,
when the federal troops occupied Alexandria in
1861, ran away, leaving young Lannon, then
sixteen years old, in charge Broders hoped
that the boy would sell the goods in stock and
make an honest return of the proceeds: he was.
therefore, much surprised when he returned, at
the end of three years, to find that John had
increased tho business, had on hand larger
stock of goods than when Broders ran away, and
had made $4,000, which he had in bank. The
merchant gave young Lannon half Of the money
and took him into partnership, and before he
died John had accumulated 800, 900, bnilt the
operahouse at Alexandria, and the largest wharf
there. and was one Of the most respected citizens
of the town.
