Obituary of Samuel Charles Blackwell, The New York Times, New York, New York, Tues, 29 Oct 1901, Page 9

Samuel Charles Blackwell, Treasurer of the Mexican and South American Telegraph Company, died on Saturday at his home, 139 West Sixty-fourth Street. Mr. Blackwell, who was seventy-eight years old, came to New York from England when nine years of age.
His father established the first sugar refinery in this city, but removed to Cincinnati. Samuel C. Blackwell eventually returned to New York. He had been with the Mexican and South American Telegraph Company for twenty years, during which time he took great interest in reform movements.

Mr. Blackwell's widow is the Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, the well-known preacher and writer, who is taking an active part in the campaign against Tammany Hall as a member of the Anti-Vice League. Of their five daughters, four are physicians and lecturers – Dr. Edith Blackwell being Dean of the State Normal College of North Carolina – and one is an artist.

Two of Mr. Blackwell's three sisters – Elizabeth and Emily – are also physicians. Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell took her degree at Geneva, N.Y., in 1849, and is said to be the first woman graduate of a medical school. She, with her sister, Dr. Emily, established what is now known as the Woman's College of New York. Both are at present abroad.

The funeral will take place Wednesday at 10 o'clock. A.M. from the residence. Burial in Greenwood Cemetery.
