His  early  education  was  at  "  West-town,"  a  school  conducted  by  the 
Society  of  Friends.  At  a  suitable  age  he  was  apprenticed  to  John  Hart, 
whose  store  was  on  Second  street  below  Market  street,  to  learn  the  drug 
business;  after  serving  his  time,  he  opened  a  store  on  Sixth  street  above 
Market  street,  subsequently  removing  to  the  N.  W.  corner  of  Market  and 
Sixth  streets,  where  he  conducted  a  successful  business  for  nearly  twenty 
years.  He  then  built  a  store  and  dwelling  at  the  N.  W.  corner  of  Sixth  and 
Spring  Garden  streets,  to  which  place  he  removed  his  business ;  after  remain- 
ing here  a  few  years  he  disposed  of  his  business  and  retired. 
Meeting  with  losses  in  other  mercantile  ventures  he  returned  to  the  drug 
business  in  1843,  locating  at  the  N.  E.  corner  of  Tenth  and  Fairmount 
avenue,  and  continued  in.business  until  January,  1887,  when  advancing  age 
counselled  his  retirement — leaving  the  conduct  of  the  business  in  the  hands 
of  his  partner,  E.  M.  Boring. 
Educated  in  the  Society  of  Friends  and  conforming  through  a  long  life  to 
the  customs  of  that  Society  in  language  and  apparel,  he  was  in  this  respect 
the  last  of  its  numerous  members  who  have  done  honor  to  the  business  of 
Druggist  and  Apothecary  in  Philadelphia.  He  was  for  a  time  a  manager  of 
Friends'  Asylum  for  the  Insane  at  Frankford,  a  trustee  of  Haverford  College, 
and  a  school  director  in  the  district  of  Spring  Garden. 
A  man  of  even  and  genial  temperament,  courteous  in  address  and 
pleasant  in  his  intercourse,  he  was  esteemed  by  those  who  knew  him.  He 
leaves  two  daughters — his  son  Samuel  S.  Garrigues,  a  graduate  of  this  Col- 
lege, deceased  in  May,  1889.  C.  B.
