His father, Isaac Solomon, was at one time a partner in the firm that owned the Bingham House, and contributed largely towards bringing that widely and favorably known hotel to its present superior condition.

As far back as his paternal line of ancestry

217

STATE OF DELAWARE

can be traced, the family were natives of Ches- ter county. Mr. T. B. Townsend's great- grandfather, Jonathan Townsend, and his grandfather, Jonathan Townsend, 2, were both born in that county, and there spent their entire lives, pursuing the vocation of the far- mer.

But this life of active usefulness was suddenly and painfully brought to a close by an accident which rendered necessary the amputation of his left leg.

ITis present position, that of auditor for the company, he has occupied for twenty years, a period far more than sufficient to prove the faithfulness and efficiency of this experienced official. Mr. Townsend supports the princi- ples of the Republican party, but uses his judgment in political matters, independently of party control. He served for several

years as assessor and collector of taxes in Ches- ter county, Pa. He is a member of Pilgrim's Lodge, No. 455, I. O. IL., Lionville, Chester county.
