   ANDREW J. SOLOMON proprietor Delaware house, P.O. New 
Hope, was born in Hunterdon county, N. J., June 20, 1828, 
and is a son of Charles and Asenath (Kelley) Solomon.  His 
father was a native of Bucks county and a millwright by 
trade.  Andrew J. located in New Hope in 1851, and was 
employed on the Delaware division of the State canal for 
several years.  He afterward engaged in various business 
enterprises, and in 1879 became owner and proprietor of the 
Delaware house at New Hope, which he has since conducted.  
His enterprise and natural fitness for this pursuit have 
proven him to be the right man in the right place.  Mr. 
Solomon has always taken an active part in the political 
affairs of the county; he was elected county commissioner in 
1875 and served three years with credit to himself and to 
the satisfaction of his constituents.  Politically he is a 
stanch democrat.
