Individual Details

Solomon Raub

(15 Aug 1832 - 3 Mar 1905)

Solomon's educational advantages were very limited, as at an early age he assisted his father and brothers on the boat. He subsequently learned the trade of molder in the Allentown Foundry, following this vocation for some years. During the Civil War he did much teaming, hauling supplies for the army. Being of an adventurous make-up, he became a seaman on ocean vessels, both on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, also sought wealth in the Australian gold fields. He spent upwards of seven years away from his "native heath," then returned home and resumed his trade as an iron molder, in the Allentown Foundry and machine shops. He subsequently engaged in the te4aming and trucking business, operating several teams, continuing this vocation for several years. In 1878 he was, for eighteen months, farming in Queen Ann county, MD. He next returned to Allentown, residing at his old home, #202 North Front Street, where he lived until his death in 1905. He was a Republican, and a member of the Reformed Church.
