| Description |
William Toudy, a lithographer in the firm of H. J. Toudy & Co., born December 1846 in Baden, Germany, immigrated to the United
States in 1857. Toudy, following the Civil War during which he served as a sergeant in the 74th Pennsylvania Infantry, entered
the Toudy firm . Probably a relative to Henry Toudy, he lived with the lithographer in 1866. In 1867, he moved to 1847 Germantown
Avenue after his marriage to Caroline Wuest (b. 1849), with whom he had several children. By July 1870, he moved to Camden,
New Jersey, where he resided for the remainder of his life.

Although he is not mentioned as a partner 1871-1876 in the reconstituted firm of H. J. Toudy & Company, he appears as the
sole partner of the firm in 1877-1878. He continued as a printer and lithographer throughout the remainder of the 19th century,
as well as applied for an invalid pension for his Civil War service on May 8, 1879. Toudy died on February 9, 1912 and was
interred at Arlington Cemetery. Both his son, Wilmer Toudy, and grandson, Julius C. Toudy, worked as lithographers, the latter
for Lehman & Bolton in 1917.
