| Description |
Henry J[ulius] Toudy, born about 1837 in Pennsylvania, worked as a lithographer in Richmond, Virginia by 1860 before establishing
the firm H. J. Toudy & Company in Philadelphia following the Civil War. After a devastating fire in 1878 causing the termination
of his company, Toudy moved to Shamokin, Pennsylvania where he worked as a coal operator. He returned to Philadelphia about
1884, first working as a coal agent and then switching to publishing from 1886 until 1891. He retired that year when he obtained
an invalid pension for his Civil War service in the Pennsylvania Calvary, including the rank of Lieutenant in Rush's Lancers
(1864). Toudy died while a resident of 2149 Narona Street on October 23, 1899 in Philadelphia. He was buried at West Laurel
Hill Cemetery. Toudy was married to Alida (b. ca. 1842) with whom he had two children Marian (b. ca. 1872) and Henry (b.
ca. 1875).
