Chapter XI: Part 11

While he loved the cause of the Confederacy with all the ardor of his great soul, when Lee surrendered at Appomatox, Colonel Sanders ceased fighting and applied himself diligently to building up the waste places of his beloved country and to making a competency for himself and family, and the great success which attended his efforts in both instances is the second reason that I would assign for calling him a remarkable man. In 1871, he married Miss Fannie Amelia Scarborough, who until the day of his death, was a blessing and an inspiration to him. Together they came to Gainesville, a little mountain village, in 1871, immediately after their marriage, to build their home and fortune. By industry, economy and great business ability, Colonel Sanders succeeded in amassing a splendid estate, and at the same time was always first in his contributions to any public enterprise or private charity. No one will ever know how many cases of distress he relieved; for he obeyed the Scriptural injunction and never allowed his left hand to know what his right hand was doing. The writer of this sketch, was often at the State Bank, of which Colonel Sanders was President for many years, and has seen numbers of the old veterans, unfortunate men of all classes and even the negroes of the city, ask for aid and never once were they refused. On the day that he died, I heard numbers of men, with tears in their eyes, say, “I have lost the best friend that I ever knew”; his funeral services were attended by every class of people in our city and country, and after his more intimate friends came and with streaming eyes looked into the face of him who had befriended them for so long. Such a funeral has been accorded but few men in our country. Colonel Sanders was also remarkable for his literary and scientific attainments. Although he professed to be only a business man, he was a great student of men and affairs; he was a great reader of history and the record of all nations, from the earliest period to the present day, was an open book to him; he had traveled extensively and the literature and civilization of Europe and Egypt and the Holy Land, were so fully and accurately impressed upon him, that he could entertain his friends by hours in recounting his experience as a traveler. But best of all, Colonel Sanders was remarkable in his childlike devotion to and faith in Jesus Christ, the Man of Galilee, in whose footsteps he had followed for many years. He was one of the very few men of my acquaintance who, though devoted to his business, always kept a Bible in the President’s office of the State Bank, and oftentimes have I called to see him only to find him immersed in the beauties of the great prophecies of Isaiah, or reading the Songs of David, the sweet singer of Israel, or studying the life and character of Him who came into the world to save men from their sins. For years, he was a pillar in the Baptist Church of this city; he always taught a class in Sunday School and his presence there was always an inspiration to the Superintendent. During an intimate acquaintance for more than twenty years, I do not think that I ever heard him speak an unkind word of any one and when the summons came, his house was in order and he was ready to meet his Master and give an account of the deeds done in the body. I was with him very often during his last illness and his faith in the promises of Him whom he had served so long and so faithfully, was beautiful and sublime. Not a word of business care or anxiety was heard around the sick bed of Colonel Sanders; he seemed in constant communion with God, and though he had large financial interests, in these last days he made no mention of them.

To the writer of this sketch, his death was a great personal loss; when I began the work of building a school for girls in Gainesville nearly twenty-five years ago, Colonel Sanders was my friend and supporter; during all the years of struggle and trial in the early days of the school he gave me the benefit of his advice and counsel and never refused any financial assistance when called upon to extend it. It was his confidence in a struggling young man that often nerved my arm and heart to continue the work which I had undertaken. And when the end had come, and I looked upon that face, calm and sweet, having the appearance of one who had only fallen asleep, I thought of the words of the great poet and said to myself:

“His life was gentle,
And the elements so mixed in him,
That Nature might stand up and say to all the world,
Here was a _man_.”

PATRICK J. McTIGHE.

A worthy member of the American Irish Historical Society was deceased at Binghamton, N. Y., August 4, 1908.

Patrick J. McTighe was born in Kilrush, County Clare, Ireland, in 1840, and received his education in a university at Dublin. His parents arrived in this country about fifty-five years ago, settled in Binghamton and were among the few pioneer Irish Catholic residents of that section. About forty-five years ago Mr. McTighe followed his parents to Binghamton and secured a position as teacher in one of the public schools. After teaching about two years he entered the employ of the wholesale grocery firm of Jackson, Denton & Marks. This firm changed several times and many different partners were admitted and retired while Mr. McTighe was connected with the business.

Following are a few of the firm names which the original house passed through before Mr. McTighe acquired the present business: Jackson & Marks, Marks & Bean, Bean & Company, McTighe, Truesdell & Davidge. Mr. McTighe was a silent partner in the firm of Bean & Company, and was an active partner in the firm which he later bought out and reorganized under the present name of the McTighe Grocery Company, with offices and warehouses at No. 69 Fayette Street.

MR. JOHN G. HARDY.

Of the William J. Feeley Company.

Providence, R. I.

]

Mr. McTighe had been prominent in political, religious and social circles in this city for many years. In addition to his membership in the American Irish Historical Society, he was a member of the Catholic Club of New York, the Knights of Columbus, and many other orders and societies. He was president of the local branch of the old Land League during the season of its most effective work; a former president of the Binghamton Board of Trade for several years, and was a police commissioner of that city. During the presidential election of 1892 Mr. McTighe served as a presidential elector when Grover Cleveland was made president.

He had been a devout communicant and a member of the board of trustees of St. Patrick’s Church since the time when this church was the only Roman Catholic edifice in Binghamton. Aside from being a moving spirit in the church proper he took a lively interest in the many branch societies of St. Patrick’s.

He is survived by his widow, whose maiden name was Miss Mary A. McDonald; two sisters, Mrs. Anne Wall and Mrs. Mary Murphy; a nephew and a niece, John and Florence McDonald, whom he brought up from childhood as his own children; two nephews, Patrick and John McTighe; and two nieces, Frances McTighe and Elizabeth Wall.

Mr. McTighe always kept green his memories of the “Ould Sod,” and was in touch with all movements to better the condition of the Irish people. His recent efforts to aid the Kerry fishermen were especially praiseworthy.

Mr. McTighe was the leader in the movement to raise the fund raised in Binghamton to aid the Quilty fishermen, who rescued the sailors of the _Leo XIII_ last autumn. The editor of _The Binghamton Press_ was made treasurer of the fund, in recognition of the sermonette editorial, based upon the thrilling story of the wreck, while Mr. McTighe took active charge of raising the money and sending it to Ireland.

In business Mr. McTighe was a hard worker and a keen, methodical business man. He had the reputation everywhere of having a very high regard for his word. In his long life and connection with the grocery business he was associated with many of the pioneers of Binghamton business life and many of the old aristocrats of the business circle.

He was a well educated and well read man, being a scholar in Latin, Spanish, Celtic and French. He was always improving his mind, and, it is said, started in to learn Greek when past the age of sixty, finally mastering it so that he read it with pleasure.

The decease of this estimable man has left vacant a place hard to fill, and the entire city of Binghamton was filled with sorrow at his sudden death.

CONNOLLY, CAPT. JAMES, real estate, Coronado, Cal. He was born in
County Cavan, Ireland, 1842; came to this country when he was but ten
years of age, and spent much of his youth at East Dennis, Cape Cod,
Mass. His early love for the sea was gratified later in life when he
became captain of some of the finest deep-water ships sailing from
Baltimore, Boston and elsewhere. His first command was the bark _May
Queen_, a regular Baltimore and Rio packet, 1872. He then had command
of the ship _Pilgrim_ of Boston, and made several voyages to the East
Indies. In 1884 he was given command of the _Charger_, a larger and
finer ship than the _Pilgrim_, and sailed to ports in Japan. He next
had command of the _South American_, “the commodore’s ship,” of the
Hastings fleet (Boston), and took her to Australia and other parts. He
made several record voyages during his career, and some of these
records still stand, having never been equalled. On one occasion he
was wrecked off the coast of Africa; he and his wife upon being
rescued were hospitably entertained by the Boers of the adjacent
country. Returning to East Dennis, Mass., his wife’s health became
poor and so he removed with her to Coronado, Cal., hoping that the
change of climate would benefit her, but she died in 1901. She had
accompanied her husband on several of his voyages, and had with him
visited many parts of the world. Captain Connolly has written much and
entertainingly. He has at present in manuscript form a novel of ocean
life entitled “The Magic of the Sea”; is Vice-President of the Society
for California.

CORBETT, MICHEL J., Wilmington, N. C., born in Lismore, County of
Waterford, Ireland, August 4, 1856, the son of John Corbett, a small
farmer and contractor; was educated in the national schools and
remained in Ireland until his eighteenth year, arriving in Wilmington,
N. C., March 28, 1878, where he has since resided. He entered the
commission business, and in due course became a partner in the firm of
W. I. Gore & Company; later, on the withdrawal of Mr. Gore, the
commission business, which had largely increased, was incorporated
under the name and style of The Corbett Company, under which the
business is now conducted. Mr. Corbett is one of the most potent
factors in the industrial life of Wilmington, and, in addition to the
successful conduct of his regular business, has been largely
instrumental in the promotion, organization and management of many
important and flourishing enterprises in Wilmington; is Vice-President
and one of the original directors of the People’s Savings Bank; one of
the original directors of the Murchison National Bank; President of
the Wilmington, Southport & Little River Company; member of the firm
of Stone & Company, and one of the Board of Managers of the James
Walker Memorial Hospital; is a member of the Cape Fear Club, Carolina
Yacht Club and Cape Fear Golf Club. In 1884 Mr. Corbett was married to
Miss Mary Josephine Deans, and to her inspiration and counsel
attributes in a large measure the credit for his success in life. The
union has been signally blessed, ten children having been born to
them, nine of whom are still living. Is Vice-President of the Society
for North Carolina.

COSGROVE, HON. JAMES, was born at Charleston, S. C., Aug. 28, 1861.
His father, a native of Bally Connell, County Cavan, Ireland, settled
in Charleston in February, 1839; became a prosperous merchant; was one
of the aldermen of the city for two terms and one of the
Representatives from Charleston County in the General Assembly of
South Carolina in 1874–’75. His mother was Catherine Daily. The family
have been Charlestonians for over seventy years and during this period
father and son have been closely identified with the commercial and
political life of the community. Mr. Cosgrove attended first a private
school, then the parochial school attached to St. Finbar’s Cathedral
and later the high school of Charleston, where he was graduated at the
age of sixteen years. He then went into his father’s office and later
established himself in the real estate and general insurance business,
which he still successfully conducts. About twenty years ago he became
interested in the experiments conducted by Sir Patrick Manson, an
Irishman, Leveran, a Frenchman, and the Italians Celli, Golgi and
Bignam, concerning the inoculation of the human body with the virus of
malaria fever by the bite of a species of the mosquito known as the
“Anopheles.” He followed the investigations closely and as a result of
what was proven commenced agitation for the drainage of wet and low
lands of the United States, to remove breeding places of this species
of insect. At that time there was a “death line” around the coastal
section of the Southern States and many other sections of the United
States, within which line it was thought to be dangerous to live in
the summer for fear of malarial fever. At first his efforts met with
poor success, and in 1898 he determined to become a candidate for the
State Legislature to have enacted legislation necessary for the proper
and systematic drainage of the wet lands of South Carolina. He was
re-elected in 1900, but such was the opposition to the new movement
that not until 1902 did he succeed in having created for Charleston
County “The Sanitary and Drainage Commission.” Indeed, it required a
man of the most untiring industry and indomitable will to have
successfully carried his purpose during these four years of
antagonism. The work of sanitary drainage in Charleston County was
commenced under the direction of this commission, but it was soon
found that it absolutely required some one to take the direction of
the work who would be willing to sacrifice his self-interest for the
good of the public. The commissioners, comprising some of the best
citizens of the city, with one accord turned to Mr. Cosgrove and
requested him to take entire direction. He did so, and has since
remained in charge. The result is that thousands of acres of fertile
lands have been made habitable, affording dwelling places, and
manufacturing enterprises have been inaugurated, affording employment
to thousands on land, which a few years ago was worthless. In 1902 Mr.
Cosgrove was defeated for re-election by a small majority, owing to
opposition to the idea of drainage. He determined to retire from
politics, but in 1906, answering the call of his people as voiced in
leading editorials in the press of Charleston, he consented to again
become a candidate and was elected by a flattering vote and re-elected
by a still larger vote in 1908. He is chairman of the Charleston
Delegation in the House of Representatives and chairman of the
Committee on Banking and Insurance. Mr. Cosgrove’s efforts in behalf
of the drainage of the low lands of the United States have been
recognized by his appointment as member of the Executive Committee of
the National Drainage Congress and Honorary Vice-President of the
Seventeenth National Irrigation Congress. As a corollary of his
drainage work, Mr. Cosgrove has been giving much attention to the
subject of good roads, and has now on the calendar of the Legislature
a measure providing for state aid to the building of good roads. In
1885 Mr. Cosgrove was married to Miss Mathilde Griffith Forsythe,
daughter of a prominent and wealthy dry goods merchant of Charleston.

the University of Leipsic, Germany. Mr. Davies read law with Slosson,
Hutchins and Platt, and was admitted to the bar in May, 1863, and at
once entered earnestly upon the pursuit of the profession his father
had so greatly adorned. During the Civil War, then raging, he served

DIXON, RICHARD, insurance, 52–54 William Street, New York City.

DIXON, SAMUEL GIBSON, M. D., LL. D., Bryn Mawr, Pa., was born of
Quaker parentage in the city of Philadelphia in the family homestead
below Bartram’s Botanical Gardens, March 23, 1851. His early education
was received at the Friends’ Schools in that city and was supplemented
by private tutors, by whom he was prepared for Harvard College. His
health failing, however, he went abroad for recreation and study.
Returning home he set himself to acquire a thorough knowledge of
business principles, taking a course at the Mercantile College. On the
conclusion of this he studied conveyancing under the late Edward
Bedlock of Philadelphia. He then studied law in the office of his
brother, Edwin Saunders Dixon, Esq., attended the law course of the
University of Pennsylvania, and was admitted to practice at the bar of
Philadelphia June 30, 1877, continuing in the active practice of that
profession for ten years. The practice of law left him with
trusteeships of importance which have necessarily kept him well to the
front in affairs. Under the stress of desk and office work his health
again failed, and his tastes inclining him to make a hobby of
scientific medicine he matriculated in the Medical Department of the
University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, from which he was
graduated with honor in 1886. While still an undergraduate, however,
he received the unusual compliment of an appointment by the trustees
to the position of Assistant Demonstrator of Physiology. During his
last year in the medical school he suffered from a serious attack of
typhoid fever, which made a foreign trip again desirable in the
opinion of his physicians. Being greatly interested in the infant
science of bacteriology, as soon as his strength permitted, he entered
the Bacteriological Department of King’s College, London, from which
he was graduated. He also took a course in the College of State
Medicine, London, under Professor Klein, and it was while prosecuting
observations under that master in bacteriology that he made the
discovery of branched forms of tubercle bacilli hitherto unnoticed. He
also studied under Pottenkofer, in Munich, and made a careful study of
the methods of filtration of water and disposition of sewage then in
vogue in the capitals of Great Britain and Europe. Returning to
Philadelphia in 1888, his alma mater recognized the value of his
attainments by appointing him the first Professor of Hygiene in the
newly created chair in the Medical Department, and also Dean of the
Auxiliary Department of Medicine. While in this position he embraced
the opportunity to establish the first Laboratory of Hygiene in the
University. Two years later he resigned these positions to accept the
appointment of Professor of Bacteriology and Microscopical Technology
at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, of which
institution he became Executive Curator in 1892 and President in 1896.
During this period his mind reverted constantly to the problem of the
branched tubercle bacillus and the possibility which he had conceived
of obtaining immunity to that disease by the introduction into the
human economy of attenuated bacilli or of fluid extracts from the
same, and he prosecuted original researches on this subject
untiringly. On October 19, 1889, he published in the _Medical News_ of
Philadelphia the results which he had then reached in producing
immunity to that disease in the lower animals, and has constantly kept
the profession informed of his investigations by means of addresses
and contributions to medical and scientific journals. The two theses
or propositions on which he based this theory of possible immunity to
the tubercle bacillus are as follows: “First. It is possible that by a
thorough filtering out of bacilli from tubercular material a filtrate
might be obtained and attenuated so that by systematic inoculations a
change might be produced in living animal tissues that would enable
them to resist virulent tubercle bacilli. Second. To bring about a
chemical or physical change in living tissues that would resist
tubercular phthisis it is possible that inoculations with the bacillus
would have to be made; yet, before this could be done, the power of
the virulent bacilli would have to be diminished; otherwise the result
would be most disastrous.” In the autumn of 1890, Doctor Dixon,
inspired by the announcement of Professor Koch that he had succeeded
in developing a substance which possessed the power of preventing the
growth of the tubercle bacillus in the human economy, again visited
Europe in order to assure himself of the accuracy of the reports and
in the interest of humanity as well as of the various scientific and
medical institutions with which he was connected, and had interviews
with Koch, Virchow and Dubois Raymond. That Doctor Dixon has always
recognized the claims of the community as a whole on members of his
profession is sufficiently proven by the fact that he is officially
connected with so large a number of scientific, philanthropic and
educational institutions. He has been for eighteen years Executive
Curator of the Philadelphia Academy of the Natural Sciences, and for
fourteen years its President. For a number of years he was a member of
the Board of Education of the city of Philadelphia an as Chairman of
the Committee on Hygiene devoted much time to improving the sanitary
condition of the schools. He is an officer of the Ludwick Institute,
the Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in Pennsylvania, the
Zoological Society of Philadelphia and the Grandom Institution, a
member of the Council of the American Philosophical Society and of the
Historical Society of Pennsylvania, a director of the Wistar Institute
of Anatomy of the University of Pennsylvania, a Fellow of the College
of Physicians of Philadelphia, a member of the American Medical
Association, the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania, the
Philadelphia County Medical Society, the American Association for the
Advancement of Science and the American Archeological and Asiatic
Society, and one of the originators of the Geographical Society of
Philadelphia. An enthusiast on field sports from his early boyhood,
many of his vacations have been spent in salmon and trout fishing and
the hunting of big game. He has been an enthusiastic and successful
breeder of choice cattle and sporting dogs. He is a member of the
American Kennel Club, of which he was the first Secretary, and
President of the Philadelphia Kennel Club. Among the social clubs of
the country he is a member of the Philadelphia Club, the Merion
Cricket Club, the University Club, the Tarrantine Golf Club and the
Radnor Hunt.
