John Rathbone died March 14, 1843, at the advanced age of 91 years. He embodied to a remarkable degree the best features of New England character. He had that industry, perseverance, integrity, sagacity and sound judgment which enabled him to conduct successfully an immense business, and to amass an ample fortune. So prominent a position did both he and his son John, Jr., take among the leading business char- acters of their day, that they stood almost at the head of the mercantile body of our greatest commercial city. They were warm supporters of the government in the war of 1813, and their names stand first on the list of those patriotic citizens who subscribed to the war loans. Mr. RATHBONE had extensive landed interests in Central Ohio, and several of his daughters, with their husbands, went there and settled.
JOHN RATHBONE, JR., inherited his fathers distinguishing qualities, and became widely known as a successful merchant and financier. He was a member of the New York Legislature for one term; was a devoted adherent of De Witt Clinton, and took great interest in the inauguration of the canal move- ment in New York and Ohio. In connection with Eleazer Lord of New York, he took the entire amount of the first Ohio Canal Loan in 1825, of $400,000, and subsequently made a loan in connection with John Jacob Astor to the same State. He was also much interested in banking, and he and his brother- in-law Samuel B. Ruggles,* Ex-Canal Commissioners, etc., were very active in getting a charter and establishing the Bank of Commerce, and were among the first directors elected. JOHN
* Samuel B. Ruggles died only last September, and long obituary notices of him then appeared in New York daily papers. He was a remarkable man. James L. Rathbone and Samuel B. Ruggles were John Rathbone, Jr.'s executors.
