I  November,  1907. 
At  the  funeral,  one  of  the  speakers  individualized  the  various  in- 
stitutions in  which  he  was  interested  and  actively  employed,  and 
demonstrated  his  good  judgment  and  great  capacity  for  such  work. 
He  was  not  a  seeker  after  office,  but  would  not  refuse  his  services 
in  commendable  enterprises. 
He  was  actively  identified  with  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy for  many  years,  as  one  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  had  been 
its  treasurer  since  1894.  He  was  also  interested  in  the  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy,  and  with  his  pen  had  contributed  to  its  pages. 
He  was  also  a  Commissioner  of  Pharmacy  for  twelve  years,  from  the 
time  of  the  passage  of  the  Pharmacy  Law. 
He  joined  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  i860  and 
at  that  meeting  was  elected  its  secretary.  He  served  on  committees 
and  was  a  forceful  speaker  at  its  meetings.  In  1880  he  was  elected 
president.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  president  of  the  Board 
of  Managers  of  the  Catharine  Street  House  of  Industry,  president 
of  the  Association  Center  of  the  University  Extension  Teaching,  and 
president  of  the  Philadelphia  Vacant  Lots  Association,  secretary  of 
the  Pennsylvania  Hospital ;  also,  a  manager  of  the  Philadelphia 
Fuel-Savings  Society  and  the  Indian  Rights  Association. 
We  became  acquainted  with  Friend  Shinn  in  1863  at  the  meeting 
of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  in  after  years  we 
met  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  association,  but  it  was  not  until 
the  meeting  of  the  association  in  Philadelphia,  in  1876,  that  his 
worth  was  properly  appreciated.  After  that  time  acquaintance 
ripened  to  warm  friendship. 
We  never  knew  a  man  more  honorable,  just  and  true,  and  never 
felt  the  loss  of  a  dearer  friend  ;  in  which  sentiment  we  are  sure 
others  will  share.
