THE


BIOGRAPHICAL CYCLOPEDIA


OF


MARYLAND AND DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.


COME, JACOB, Capitalist, was born August 13, 1810, in Manheim Township, York County, Pennsyl- vania. Few of the men who, from poverty and obscurity, have won their way to wealth, honor and fame, began life under less promising circumstances than Mr. Tome. Bravery and courage were the prime elements of his character; industry, integrity, perseverance and self-reliance, his sole capi- tal. With these he took the world in hand, and by them has elevated himself to the highest plane of influence and usefulness. lle was of German parentage, and from a curious and interesting baptismal certificate, still in the possession of Mr. Tome, containing the date and place of his birth and baptism, together with the names of the spon- sors, it appears that the original family name was Thom, his parents being mentioned therein as, " These two law- fully wedded persons, Christian Thom and his lawful wife Christina Thom, maiden name Bager." Mr. Tome's early educational advantages were limited to the district school, which he was privileged to attend only in the winter months. His parents were poor, supporting a large family by their daily labor. When Mr. Tome was sixteen years of age his father died, and he thenceforth undertook the battle of life on his own account. Ile hired himself to Colonel Graham, a farmer in York County, with whom he remained fifteen months. lle then entered the employ- - ment of Jacob Musser, for whom he superintended fislı- eries for one year, at Stony Island, on the Susquehanna River. In the spring of 1830, he went to Marietta, where for two years he worked for James Stackhouse. Leaving him, he entered into an engagement with Abraham Var- ley, in the manufacture and sale of tin warc. Noticing an advertisement for a teacher for a country school, near


Elizabethtown, Lancaster County, to serve during the fall and winter months, and, although duly impressed with the- deficiency of his education for such a position, he made application for it, resolved, if successful, to qualify him- self, so far as possible by diligent study, for the discharge of its duties. In view of his youthful appearance and his slight and small stature, the trustees doubted his ability to control the larger scholars, and to preserve proper disci- pline in the school. He mnet the difficulty by assuring the trustees that they need have no fears, since, if he failed as a disciplinarian, he would make no charge for his services. Being favorably impressed with his self-assurance, they gave him the position. Having finished his engagement as school teacher to the satisfaction of the trustees, in the spring of 1833 he went to Port Deposit, and was employed for a short time at Boggs's hotel. Ile left that place in December following, and went to Philadelphia, where he studied book-keeping during the winter. He returned to Port Deposit March 23, 1834, and engaged as clerk, with Messrs. Downey & Montgomery, lumber dealers, doing an extensive business on the old bank wharf. Ile remained with them until March, 1835. During this period his ac- tivity, industry and business capacity attracted the atten- - , tion of David Rinehart, a wealthy banker and lumber merchant, of Marietta, Pennsylvania, who was in the habit of visiting Port Deposit in the spring and fall lumber sea- sons, for the transaction of business with manufacturers and dealers, with whom he had extensive dealings. lle proposed a business connection with Mr. Tome, which was accepted, Mr. Rinehart furnishing five thousand dollars cash capital against Tome's services; and the firm of Tome & Rinehart, lumber dealers, began business. From 1835 to 1851, this firm had uninterrupted success, and did
