3 Summary Information Repository Historical Society of Tacony Creator South, Thomas W., Title Thomas W. South papers Call number 09 Date [inclusive] Extent 16 linear feet Language English Abstract Thomas Winfield South ( ) moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1872 to work for the Disston & Sons Saw Works as manager and landagent for the Disston-owned properties in the Tacony section of the city. Heavily involved in real estate, transportation, and local politics and government, South became a prominent figure in Tacony and the city at large. Like his cousins Hamilton Disston ( ) - the largest single investor in Florida's history - and Jacob Disston ( ), South was involved with the development of central Florida. The Thomas W. South papers, , primarily consist of correspondence and legal papers that document South's various political and business engagements in Philadelphia. The collection also contains correspondence of the St. Petersburg Investment Company, (bulk ), an organization founded by Jacob Disston and fellow Philadelphian investors to finance development projects in and around Disston lands in Florida. Court records relating to South's position as magistrate (largely inaccessible to researchers because of the very poor condition of the - Page 3 -
4 materials) and secondary-source materials on South and Hamilton Disston are also included. Biography/History Thomas Winfield South was born in Laurel, Ohio on October 1, He was the son of Dr. Stephen Benton South ( ) and Abigail Steelman Higbee (Higby) ( ). In 1863 he enlisted in the Union army with the 153rd Ohio Volunteers, but was discharged at his father's urging due to his young age. South was related on his mother's side to the Disston "Steel" Family, and moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1872 to work for Disston & Sons Saw Works, one of the largest saw manufacturing companies in the world. He worked as manager and land-agent for the Disston-owned properties in the Tacony section of the city. South oversaw the implementation of Henry Disston's paternalistic vision of Tacony as an ideal family-centered company town, and was quite influential in this capacity. In his obituary, the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin dubbed him the "Father of Tacony." South became heavily involved in Philadelphia real estate and transportation. He worked very closely with P.E. Costello, a builder and contractor who served as Director of Public Works from 1903 to South also organized the Tacony Building and Loan Association, for which he worked as treasurer for 42 years. From , Thomas W. South partnered with Frank E. Caven to sell sand and gravel as the firm South & Caven. South served as director of the Suburban Electric Company, and was one of the promoters of the Holmesburg, Frankford and Tacony Electric Railway. South, a lifelong Republican aligned with the machinery of Philadelphia boss James McManes, was also active in local politics and government. He was a delegate to the convention that elected Rutherford B. Hayes for President. An obituary characterized South's interests: "Having his position at the head of the world famous saw works, he wanted nothing for himself, but was eager to find good places for his prot? g?s in politics... He represented a much higher intellectual type than the ordinary ward politician. He was proud of his personal reputation for integrity." ("'Tom South.'"). By most accounts, South was an efficient judge and bureaucrat. South was appointed Index Clerk in the Recorder of Deeds office under the administration of General Louis Wagner, and then was promoted to special agent in the Revenue Office. In 1875, he was elected magistrate at the Central Police Court in Philadelphia, and was reelected to this post five times. He handled over 100,000 cases before retiring from magisterial duties in He was elected ward leader for the 41st Ward in Mayor John Weaver ( ) appointed him Assistant Director of Public Safety in 1905, although South and Director Sheldon Potter were forced to resign the following year. South was appointed to Chief Clerk of the Board of Mercantile Appraisers in 1907, a position he held until his death of a heart attack in Page 4 -
5 In 1878, Thomas South married Ida Norman Corbly ( ) with whom he had three children: Blanche Lillian South ( ), Hamilton South ( ), and Effie L. South ( ). Hamilton South married Elizabeth (Elsie) Turnbull ( ), daughter of Charles Turnbull, M.D., in Around the late 19th century, many wealthy Philadelphians who suffered from ill health began vacationing in Florida, hoping that the climate would relieve their symptoms. These excursions sometimes inspired them to invest in the largely undeveloped state. South, for instance, who suffered from rheumatism and frequently travelled to St. Lucie, became interested in Florida land development. He was encouraged in this by his cousin and close friend, Hamilton Disston ( ), the largest single investor in Florida's history. Hamilton Disston ran his father Henry Disston ( )'s company, Disston & Sons Saw Works, after his father's death. In 1881, Hamilton purchased four million acres of Florida land (reportedly the most land ever purchased by a single person in world history), including Kissimmee, St. Cloud, Gulfport, Tarpon Springs, and St. Petersburg. Before realizing plans to develop his purchase, however, Hamilton's finances were decimated in the Panic of He committed suicide in 1896, leaving his property holdings to his brother, Jacob Disston ( ). Jacob Disston teamed up with a group of Philadelphia investors including Frank A. Davis ( ), George Gandy ( ), and Charles R. Hall ( ) to create the St. Petersburg Investment Company. The Investment Company was a holding company with several subsidiaries dedicated to financing various development projects in and around the Disston lands in Florida, including railway, electricity, and building construction. The Investment Company went into receivership during World War I, with Charles M. Allen serving as receiver. The precise relationship between the St. Petersburg Investment Company and Thomas South is unclear, although he was a cousin of the company's founder, Jacob Disston. Bibliography: "F.A.

Scope and Contents This collection primarily consists of correspondence and legal documents, some receipts and invoices, and to a lesser extent blueprints, maps, newspaper clippings, and other materials. (The majority of the legal documents are currently inaccessible to researchers due to the very poor condition of the materials.) It documents South's work as magistrate, his engagement in the machinery of Philadelphia local politics, his personal and professional relationships with many individuals prominent in Northeast Philadelphia, his involvement with various businesses and organizations, real estate development in the Tacony section of Philadelphia, and the "development boom" in central Florida during the early 20th century. The collection is organized into four series: Series I. Personal and professional papers, Series II. St. Petersburg Investment Company correspondence, (bulk ) Series III. Court records [RESTRICTED] Series IV. Secondary-source materials "Series I. Personal and professional papers, " is arranged alphabetically by subject or correspondent and largely contains incoming letters to South regarding his business and political endeavors in Philadelphia. In particular, the series covers his involvement in real estate and land development in the Tacony section of the city, his position as magistrate, and his real estate and other business ventures in Florida and other areas along the Gulf Coast (not relating to the St. Petersburg Investment Company). The correspondence sheds light on Philadelphia's political and business climate around the turn of the 20th century, including the corruption that plagued the city. Correspondents include Peter E. Costello, Girard Trust Company, Howard L. Neff, North British & Mercantile Insurance Company, Peace & Yerger, Thomas C. Foster, Jacob M. Vogdes. A significant number of letters, invoices, and receipts are from various contractors and builders with whom South worked. There are also a number of letters from tenants who lived in properties that South owned or managed, many of them likely tenants of the Disston-owned properties in Tacony for which South served as manager and land-agent. Also included in the series are letters relating to various City Departments that South was affiliated with, such as the Department of Public Safety. With regard to South's involvement in Philadelphia politics, series I includes letters relating to some of the elections for which South was a candidate, including the election for ward leader of the 41st Ward, which South won in The series also includes a poster of South from his bid for the office - Page 6 -
7 of Sheriff of Philadelphia in 1899, which he lost. Of special interest is a newspaper clippings scrapbook that South created during his brief tenure as Assistant Director of Public Safety from 1905 to The scrapbook documents city politics and includes many political cartoons. Also included in the series are correspondence and related papers (such as legal records, registers, and court summons) regarding cases that South presided over as a magistrate; many requests for pardons are present. South's personal life, including his rheumatism, his hunting and fishing hobby, and events relating to his immediate family, is documented through personal correspondence. Many of the letters that relate to South's family concern his son, Hamilton South, especially his schooling at military preparatory schools. After some of Hamilton Disston's property was destroyed by fire at his marine barracks at Pensacola Navy Yard, Thomas W. South used his influence to have a bill passed through U.S. Congress reimbursing his son for losses incurred. "Series II. St. Petersburg Investment Company correspondence, (bulk )" is organized chronologically and documents the St. Petersburg Investment Company and its child companies, St. Petersburg Electric Light and Power Company and the St. Petersburg and Gulf Railway Company. The precise relationship between the St. Petersburg Investment Company and Thomas South is unclear, although he was a cousin of the company's founder, Jacob Disston. Much of the correspondence in this series is routine in nature, covering the day-to-day activities of the company. Many letters are to and from contractors, builders, electricians, banks, and other businesses with which the company dealt. Some relate to the company's absorption of the Florida West Coast Company in Most of the correspondence in the series is with either B.F. Measey, who served as treasurer from 1911 to May 1912 (when he resigned and was replaced by Alex R. Cheston), or Jacob M. Vogdes, a Philadelphia real estate agent who served as President of the St. Petersburg and Gulf Railway and the St. Petersburg Investment Company for several years. There is also a fair amount of correspondence to and from other employees, including Ruth Beede who worked in the Florida office, and a few from F.A. Davis and Jacob Disston. Also included are letters to company shareholders (including a fair number of women investors.) "Series III. Court records" is largely inaccessible to researchers because of the very poor condition of the materials. It consists substantially of court summons and dockets, circa , including marriage record of Magistrates Court #21 ( ). "Series IV. Secondary-source materials" consists of background materials collected by the Historical Society of Tacony to complement the Thomas W. South papers. It includes photocopies of Hamilton Disston correspondence held at the Florida State Archives; copies of articles and exhibition text from the 1990s-2000s about Hamilton Disston and his influence on Florida land development; copies of clippings about Thomas W. South; and other convenient information. Administrative Information Historical Society of Tacony - Page 7 -
