of manufacturing wood type and other print- ers' machinery and material; soon after the death of his father, which occurred in 1857, he came to Quiney and became associated with his brother in the publication of the Whig newspaper, and he continued his con- nection with that establishment until 1867, when he withdrew his interest and entered the service of the United States, in the Inter- nal Revenue department, receiving his ap- pointment under Abraham Lincoln; in 1871 he established the Quincy Commercial Review, of which paper he is still proprietor. During the past fifteen or twenty years Mr. Langdon has compiled and published four directories of the city of Quincy, six different histories of the city, and one of the towns of Adams county. He was for twelve years Secretary of the Adams county central Republican committee ; served for nine years as Oil Inspector of the city; is now Secretary of the Gem City Telegraph Institute, United States Internal Revenue Ganger, and pub- lisher of the Review. Mr. Langdon, during the past ten years, has received many offers of positions on the metropolitan press; but he seems wedded to the Gem City, of which he has written many columns of praise.
