Mr. H.P.B. Jewett died at noon yesterday. At his residence in Columbia, on the Little Miami Rail road, after a long and severe illness. His disease was not unexpected, but has cast no less a shadow on his large circle of friends. He was such a man as there are few – with the records of a spotless life following him to the grave, and with not an enemy left alive to rejoice his taking off. His business, his religion and his family were all lovingly cherished at his hands, and none knew him but to honor and respect. The deceased was born in Scituate, Mass. January 29, 1825. He began business with Arthur Tappan, of Boston, and was afterward associated with other leading publishing firms of Boston. When Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin," John P. Jewett, a brother of the deceased, was selected as the publisher, and H.P.B. Jewett established a branch house of the concern at Cleveland, under the name of Jewett, Worthington & Proctor. To Mr. Jewett was assigned the duty of publishing the book to the West, and his efforts met with such success as was before unknown. Over three hundred and sixty thousand copies were sold in this country, beside a very large scale in England and in the different translations into other languages. The house in Boston met with reverses, and took with it the concern in Cleveland. Mr. Jewett thence to Cincinnati, and in the year 1862 became associated with Hickey & Carroll, publishers, and afterward with R.W. Carroll & Company, with whom the most pleasant and confidential business relations existed, until his failing health compelled its cessation. In his death the publishers' world has lost a notable member.
