Partridge, D. Anson (David Anson)
Date
April 1847-November 30, 1908
Description
David Anson Partridge, born in April 1847, in Randolph, Vermont, was a partner in the Philadelphia lithographic firm Packard, Butler & Partridge. Son of David (b. ca. 1792), a shoemaker and Elsie (b. ca. 1828), he relocated to Philadelphia by 1870, and worked as a "machinist," living with his wife Charlotte (b. ca. 1850) at 517 Pierce Street. During the 1870's Partridge worked as a farmer and as a lithographer (as of 1876) and by the 1880 census was listed as a photo-lithographer.
In 1883 he joined the lithographic firm Packard & Butler renamed Packard, Butler & Partridge, as well as served as treasurer of the Philadelphia Photographic Society. Partridge also managed the baseball club the Wynnewoods during the 1880s. Following the fire of 1886 that claimed the building tenanted by Packard, Butler & Partridge (715 Arch Street), Packard and Partridge continued in business with each other until 1893. Partridge remained in the fields of lithography and photography through the 1890s and early 1900s. He died on November 30, 1908 while visiting his hometown of Randolph, Vermont.
