General Notes: Husband - Clement B. Grubb
He was just eight years of age when his father died, at which time he was placed under the tutelage of Dr. William Augustus Muhlenburg, who later founded St. Luke's Hospital, New York City. Mr. Grubb's literary training was completed at Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, and he was but seventeen years of age when he took up the threads of his father's business, running the Mount Hope, Mount Vernon, Manada and Cadorus charcoal furnaces, besides two others-an anthracite furnace, St. Charles, in Columbia, which he built, and the Henry Clay furnace, at or near Columbia, which he bought and rebuilt. Mr. Grubb was sole owner of the Chestnut Hill ore bank, and one of the owners of the Cornwall ore bank, and for twenty years was president of the First National Bank of Lancaster. He was a very active business man throughout his long life, giving employment to thousands of men, and he had the rare faculty of being in perfect sympathy with all his employes, by whom he was admired and beloved to a degree enjoyed by few. His justness and liberality to those in his employ were among the most marked characteristics of his remarkable business career, and many there were who attributed their start in life and their subsequent success to his advice and assistance. He never lost an opportunity to do a favor for his men, but his benefactions, though numerous, were always unostentatious, like the man himself. His manners and habits were proverbially quiet, and he was the soul of kindness, and his disposition displayed itself in his intercourse with all his fellow men, whether in business or in social life. His gentleness was not the result only of good nature and training, but of the happy combination of these with a strong character, well controlled and perfectly balanced. In spite of the many demands upon his time and attention he was never too busy to be obliging, and as a friend he was true to every obligation imposed by that sacred relationship. He was baptized into the Episcopal Church by Bishop White, the first American bishop in Pennsylvania. Mr. Grubb was liberal in his support of church work and religious enterprises, and he served as a vestryman of St. James Church, Lancaster. In political sentiment he was a stanch Republican, and he was one of the first members of the Union League Club of Philadelphia. However, he was no office seeker, the attractions of domestic life appealing more strongly to him, and though he thoroughly enjoyed social life and the company of his numerous friends, he was happiest in the home circle.
In the partition of their father's estate, Edward and Clement B. Grubb received Mount Hope Furnace and lands, and on Oct. 29, 1845, Clement B. and Mary Ann, his wife, conveyed his half of this property to his brother, Alfred Bates Grubb, for twenty-five thousand dollars.
