Excerpt from Baltimore, Vol. 2: Its History and Its People A city, like an individual, possesses moral as well as physical characteristics. The individual, whatever the physical beauty may be, is of value to himself and the community, only in proportion to his moral development and strength. The same holds good in relation to the city. The force that moulds a community to high ideals and right thinking, the organization or individual that holds aloft before a community the flaming torch of education, patriotism. State loyalty, civic pride and municipal and individual right living, builds the city in far more gracious beauty and greatness than is ever attained by the rearing of stately buildings and the establishment of commercial institutions. Baltimore is known as the "Monumental City," and her fairest monument is her leading newspaper. The Sun, the cornerstone of which was laid by Arunah Shepherdson Abell, and the building of which, to its present noble height, has been carried on by three generations of the Abell family. The history of The Sun, of Baltimore, Maryland, founded in 1837, by A. S. Abell, is so closely interwoven with the lives of the A. S. Abell family that the record of one is the biography of the other. A brief glance at the ancestry of the family of which the late A. S. Abell was the honored head in Baltimore, is essential to a clear understanding of the history of The Sun, and the importance of the family from whence sprung the papers inspiration, its establishment and its successful development. Arunah Shepherdson Abell, founder and owner of The Sun, was born in East Providence, Rhode Island, August 10, 1806, and died at his Baltimore residence, northwest corner Charles and Madison streets, April 19, 1888, in the eighty-second year of his age. Mr. Abell was of English descent, his paternal ancestors having been among the early settlers in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was sixth in descent from his colonial ancestor, Robert Abell, to whom a son was born during the voyage from the old to the new world. The voyage was a long and stormy one, and, owing to the safety of mother and child during these perils by sea, the babe was christened Preserved. Preserved Abell settled at Rehoboth (now Seekonk), Rhode Island, and had a son, Joshua Abell, who had a son, Robert, named for his colonial ancestor. Robert Abell, son of Joshua, had a son, Caleb Abell, who became the father of Arunah Shepherdson Abell, founder of The Sun. There is an ancient chair still in the possession of the Abell family, of which tradition relates that prior to the bloody and devastating war known by his name. King Philip, the Indian, frequently visited the home of Preserved Abell, and, as a mark of respect, was always offered this chair, which was the most comfortable in the house. When Indians set fire to the settlement at Seekonk in 1676, the savages brought the chair from the Abell residence that their chief might witness the conflagration with comfort.

Excerpt from Baltimore, Vol. 2: Its History and Its People Arunah S. Abell was educated in his native town, and when fourteen years of age entered the business world as clerk in a firm dealing in West India commodities. His inclinations, however, turned strongly in literary directions. He resigned his clerkship in 1822, and became an apprentice in the office of the Providence Patriot, a Democratic journal, published by Jones Wheeler, printers to the State and Federal government. When he attained his majority, he obtained employment in Boston, and was soon pro moted to the position of foreman of one of the best offices in that city. He was offered a government position in the Boston post-office under Demo cratic administration, but, having chosen his career as a journalist, refused to consider any other vocation. A little later he removed to New York, bearing flattering letters of introduction to the foremost newspaper men of the metropolis. His residence in New York quickly resulted in his entering into partnership with two gentlemen, Azariah H. Simmons and William M. Swain, also printers like himself, to establish a daily penny paper. At this time New York already boasted several penny papers, while Philadelphia did not, and it was decided to establish the new enterprise in the latter city. Articles of association were drawn up February 29, 1836. The name first chosen for the new paper was The Times, but an ill fate had overtaken a preceding Philadelphia journal of that name, and the firm of Swain, Abell Simmons abandoned the name first chosen for that of The Public Ledger, under which title the paper entered upon a long and prosperous career, which continues to the present time. The partners contributed an equal amount of money and their united energies to the undertaking, and cast superstition to the wind when the first number of The Public Ledger appeared, Friday, March 25, 1836. Having seen the success of The Ledger fully established, Mr. Abell, in April, 1837, visited Baltimore, where all the newspapers published were known as sixpennies. The year was not a financially encouraging one, and there were five newspaper competitors already established in the Baltimore field, yet Mr. Abell's business foresight incited him to make the venture of establishing a penny paper in Baltimore, and his partners agreed to support him if he would personally undertake the control of the enterprise. This he agreed to do, and upon May 17, 1837, the first number of The Sun was issued, and the broad and wise policy outlined that has been the paper's inspiration through succeeding years.
