PHARMACEUTICAL  MEETING.  573 
Died,— On  the  8th  of  12th  month,  1857,  William  Marmot.  The  de- 
ceased was  a  native  of  Duchess  Co.,  New  York,  and  came  to  this  city  in  1816, 
and  was  apprenticed  in  the  store  of  E.  Marshall,  Chesnut  Street.  He 
commenced  business  at  the  N.  W.  corner  of  5th  and  Arch  sts.,  and  after 
his  marriage  removed  to  the  corner  of  13th  and  Filbert  Streets,  where  he 
conducted  the  retail  and  dispensary  business.  He  became  a  member  of 
this  College  in  1823,  and  continued  his  connection  with  it  until  he  gave  up 
the  business  in  1834.  He  was  much  respected  by  his  associates  for  his 
intelligence  and  his  mild  and  amiable  manners.  During  the  latter  part  of 
his  life  he  was  the  faithful  and  indefatigable  clerk  of  the  Eastern  Peniten- 
tiary, and  to  his  industry  we  are  mainly  indebted  for  the  valuable  statis- 
tics furnished  in  the  recent  Annual  Reports  of  that  Institution. 
Thomas  Gegan,  a  native  of  Ireland,  was  educated  in  Dublin  to  the 
profession  of  Pharmacy,  came  to  America  some  years  ago,  and  was  en- 
gaged in  the  practice  of  Pharmacy,  in  connection  with  his  brother,  Dr. 
John  Gegan,  at  the  S.  E.  corner  of  Front  and  South  Street.  In  1849  he 
became  connected  with  this  College,  and  at  about  the  same  period  located 
at  the  old  stand  of  Thomas  Oliver,  N.  E.  corner  of  10th  and  Filbert  Streets. 
He  died  in  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1857.
