MEMOIRS  OF  PHILADELPHIA  COLLEttE  OP  PHARMACY.  105 
until  more  than  doubled,  and  in  1845  invested  witli  other  funds 
in  their  present  elegant  and  substantial  building  on  south  Sixth 
street. 
Peter  K.  Lehman,  as  I  have  said,  was  at  the  date  of  this  nar- 
rative located  on  Market  street  below  10th  street.  Not  so 
prominent  in  public  affairs  as  his  cousin,  he  was  a  useful  mem- 
ber and  trustee  of  the  College,  often  appointed  on  its  commit- 
tees. He  was  born  in  Germantown,  June  16th,  1787,  was 
brought  up  in  the  store  on  south  Second  street,  of  which  I  have  just 
given  the  history,  and  after  an  honorable  career  retired  from 
business  and  ended  his  days  Nov.  17,  1846,  in  the  house. still 
occupied  by  his  daughter  and  son-in-law.  Hymen  Lipman,  No. 
136  N.  10th  St.,  nearly  opposite  our  new  hall. 
It  is  perhaps  fitting  that  I  should  say  a  word  here  of  Stephen 
North,  Chairman  of  the  first  meeting,  and  Second  Vice-President 
of  the  organization.  He  is  represented  by  those  who  remember 
him  as  a  worthy  and  even  superior  wholesale  druggist,  doing 
business  on  Second  street,  a  few  doors  south  of  Christ  Church.* 
He  afterwards  removed  to  the  N.  E.  corner  of  6th  and  Mar- 
ket streets,  but  did  not  live  many  years  after  his  removal. 
Under  date  of  9th  month,  1826,  the  minutes  of  the  College  con- 
tain a  notice  of  his  death,  with  a  resolution  expressing  the  deep 
regret  of  his  fellow  members  at  his  loss,  and  bearing  testimony 
to  the  value  of  his  services  in  founding  the  College,  and  his 
faithfulness  to  its  interests  until  removed  by  death  from  the  sta- 
tion of  honor  and  usefulness  which  he  held  among  its  members. 
'  Daniel  B.  Smith  next  succeeded  to  the  Presidency.  He  was 
one  of  the  original  members  who  was  instrumental  in  imparting 
a  scientific  character  to  the  College ;  the  business  men  who  were 
active  in  its  affairs  were  numerous,  the  men  of  science  few.  At 
this  period  he  was  in  active  business  at  the  N.  E.  corner  of  Sixth 
and  Arch  street,  a  stand  which  he  established,  afterwards  asso- 
ciating with  him  William  Hodgson,  Jr.,  then  fresh  from  the  store 
of  John  Bell,  Oxford  street,  London,  where  he  was  associated 
as  an  apprentice  with  the  since  eminent  Jacob  Bell,  Robert 
Alsop,  and  Prof.  Theophilus  Redwood,  all  lights  in  the  London 
.*No.  14,  N.  Second  street,  says  the  directory  of  1824.
