William
T.
Steinmetz

WILLIAM T. STEINMETZ was born in Pennsylvania in June of 1867, according to the 1900 Census. He married Rosalie Cole around 1892.

By 1894 William T. and Rosalie Steinmetz had moved to Camden. They shared a house with Rosalie's sister Mary and her husband, William Stauts and their children, as well as Rosalie's  mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary Cole, at 1015 South 2nd Street in Camden. City Directories for 1894 and 1895 show William T. Steinmetz in business as a carpenter at 721 Noble Street in Philadelphia and at the South 2nd Street address in Camden. After 1895 he no longer kept a business address in Philadelphia.

Shortly before the Census was taken on June 1, 1900 William T. Steinmetz was appointed Building Inspector for the City of Camden. 

Sadly, Rosalie Steinmetz died in February of 1906. The loss affected William T. Steinmetz deeply. When he took his own life, on December 29, 1906 it came as no surprise to many of his frends and associates, as he had been in a deep depression since his wife's passing.
