Description |
Charles P. Grantling, born in Pennsylvania ca. 1833, began his lithographic printing career in Philadelphia at the establishment
of William H. Rease (Fourth and Chestnut streets) in 1860. Soon thereafter, Grantling served in the 18th Regiment of the Pennsylvania
Infantry for a few months in 1861, and then served again in 1863. After the war, Grantling returned to the trade and the Philadelphia
city directory for 1865 lists him as a lithographer living at 537 Wharton Street, then with his wife's family at 138 Carpenter
Street 1867-1868. In 1868, his son John was born, and shortly after Grantling moved his family to New York City. His wife,
Catharine Virginia (b. 1838), died there on July 1, 1870. A decade later, Grantling had remarried an Irish-born woman Mary
(b. September 1843) and resided in Manhattan. He lived in Jersey City, N.J. and worked as a printer in 1891. By the 1900 census,
Mary Grantling was a widow living in New York.
