liberal  education  he  became  an  apothecary,  and  soon  commenced  business,  becom- 
ing subsequently  proprietor  of  or  partner  in  several  pharmaceutical  establishments, 
located  as  branches  of  the  principal  store  in  different  parts  of  New  York  city.  He 
took  an  active  part  in  the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  the  city  of  New  York,  and  served

honor,  and  was  highly  respected  in  private  life  as  well  as  in  his  business  relations. 
He  leaves  three  children,  one  daughter  and  two  sons,  one  of  whom  was  his  partner
