Buried on October 14, 1891. (Death Certificate / Undertaker's Certificate Photocopy)
Occupation on above: Leterateur
He died at home, Main & Duval Streets, Germantown.
The source of his birth-date is his grave-marker. In printed biographical sources, his birth-date is also found as December 7, 1818. Examples of this are Page 135, Volume II, Number 2 - "The Magazine of Poetry" - Published by Charles Wells Moulton, Buffalo, New York - 1890 & Page 737 - "Herringshaw's Encyclopedia of American Biography" - American Publishers' Association, Chicago, Illinois - 1904.
NOTE: The online "Quaker Meeting Records" gives his birth-date as July 12, 1818. I used the birth-date which his family had carved on the grave-stone, and which matches biographical sources. A possible explanation for the error is that the person copying the information read a European format of the date: day, month, year - rather than the American format of month, day, year. In the European method of writing the date, it would be 7 December (or 12) 1818.
For 20 years, he was Editor of "The Saturday Evening Post" magazine.
Author. Among his books is
- "The Modern Job", 1869
