In 1910, they were living in
Riverton, Burlington, New Jersey. Samuel died Nov. 18, 1912.
“Samuel C. Woolman, for many years one
of the leading members of the Commercial Exchange, died at his home in
Riverton, N. J., yesterday morning.
“Death was due to a complication of
diseases from which Mr. Woolman had been suffering for several years. He was 74
years old and the head of the grain and hay firm of S. C. Woolman & Co. His
two sons, Walter and Clarence, are members of the company.
“Mr. Woolman was widely known as one
of the most progressive grain men in the city, and while an active member of
the Commercial Exchange did much to make that organization a powerful body.” (Inquirer, Nov. 19, 1920)

William Ingersoll was a leading
figure on the Philadelphia stage for many years.
Inquirer,
April 17, 1910: “It did not take long for the many admirers of William
Ingersoll to give a display of their devotion to that splendid actor when he
returned to the footlights for a fortnight at the Girard. He fully shared
honors with Miss Blair in the presentation of Camille during the past week, and
the recipient of glowing tributes to his artistic acting at each performance. Mr.
Ingersoll is an actor of intelligence, study and capacity,
therefore, it is little wonder that he was warmly received. The brief season of
Mr. Ingersoll and Miss Blair will come to a close at the end of the coming
week, which will be regretfully received by many of the patrons of these clever
people.”
