Sixty-four years married. - Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Fogg celebrated the 64th anniversary of their marriage and Mr. Fogg's 86th birthday a few days ago at their home on North Twenty-ninth Street, surrounded by their descendants, of whom there are living, two sons, three daughters, 20 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
Mr. and Mrs. Fogg were married in the Friend's Meeting House, Haddonfield, N.J. in February, 1827, and have lived in this city almost continuously ever since. Mr. Fogg began working at bricklaying in 1821, and in 1821 entered business for himself, becoming a master in his craft, which he followed for 30 years.
Among the noteworthy pieces of work done by him were two large buildings erected for the Richard Norris locomotive works, on Hamilton Street, in 1844, which are still in use. He placed the first steam boilers in the U.S. Mint, and it is said the chimney on the Mint was built after a plan made by Mr. Fogg to prevent the hot air from cracking the outside walls of the chimney. He had built one on a similar plan for John Flanagan of Camden, and afterwards one for Richard Norris. Mr. Fogg built the first gas retort for Dr. Drake, who was the first person to try the experiment of making gas to supply private individuals. After retiring from the bricklaying business he carried on the undertaking business for nearly 20 years. Mr. and Mrs. Fogg are both enjoying good health, Mrs. Fogg being in her 83rd year.
Obituary Notice, 11/28/1893 : Samuel Fogg, a respected and well-known citizen, died last evening, at the residence of his son-in-law, Henry S. Stiles, of the business department of the Public Ledger.
He was born near Salem, N.J., in 1805, and came to Philadelphia at the age of 16 to learn the trade of bricklaying with Powel Carpenter. He was afterward with Aaron Fogg, his brother, for some years, and carried on business successfully for himself for many years. Among the operations of his business life were the stacks at the Norris Locomotive Works and the retorts for the first introduction of gas in Philadelphia. In 1821, he helped build the old printing house for Chittendon, at Broad and Lehigh Avenue, which was recently demolished by the Reading railroad.
In 1861 he started in the undertaking business and continued until 15 years ago, when he retired from active life. Mr. Fogg's married life extended over a period of 66 years, and his wife died on the 4th of May last, after a brief illness. During his long life he was a consistent member of the Society of Orthodox Friends, - at the time of his death was a member of the Northern District Meeting. Mr. Fogg was esteemed highly by all who knew him for his sterling qualities of heart and mind. He will be buried on Saturday afternoon, from the residence of Mr. Henry S. Stiles, his son-in-law, in the Southwest Burying Grounds. Three daughters and a son survive him, and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
'A Most Pleasant Event', prob. from the West Chester, Pa. 'Village Recorder.'
.....It was one of these most delightful occasions when, on Thursday last, the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Samuel and Elizabeth Fogg assembled under the roof-tree of 'the old folks' ' son-in-law, Nathan Pennell, in Pennsbury Township, Chester County, to celebrate the 76th anniversary of Mrs. Fogg's birthday. For many days before the event the youthful members of the party had been quietly making their preparations, and laying aside their store of good things with which on Thursday morning they came laden to the door of their aged relatives.....
