Excerpt from Leon Solis-Cohen: Born, October 16, 1840, Died, September 19, 1884 He had a decided inclination towards the study of medicine, and indeed had attended one full course of lectures at Jefferson College, but becoming engaged to be married in New York, and a commercial opening presenting itself in that city, he abandoned the profession for the more immediate returns of a mercantile career. He never lost his interest in the art of healing, and made it a point to look over the medical journals at the libraries, to note the advances in subjects in which he had acquired special inter est. Of the sciences, chemistry was his favor ite, and he was quite a skilful amateur photo grapher. In company with the late Cornelius Levy, of Philadelphia, he visited Richmondshortly after Lee's surrender, and made a number of views of the burned district and other points of interest, which were published under the title of The Rebel Capital and its Environs, and met with quite an extensive sale.
