Stephen Calvert Ford is described as a "widely known resident of Washington." He was for thirty years United States gas inspector for the District.
Born at Carlisle, Pa, but spent most of his early life in St CMary's county, Md.
He was a direct descendant of the distinguished Ford family of Maryland who were among the early settlers of that State.
He was also distantly related to the Calvert family of Maryland.
While a student at Georgetown University, Mr Ford made a special study of chemistry, and after graduating entered the retail drug business.
It was while thus engaged that he was appointed, in 1873, to the office of Inspector of Gas and Meters. The appointment was made by President Grant.
Mr Ford soon became a recognized authority in his profession. Chemists in Europe and throughout this country frequently consulted him in regard to his ideas on the gas distributing system.
Mr Ford is survived by a window, two sons, William L and J Lee C Ford, and two daughters, Mary V and Rosa A Ford.
Funeral at St Paul's Church, interment in Mount Olivet cemetery.
