George S. Bowdoin

George Sullivan Bowdoin, a [great-]grandson of Alexander Hamilton, was a financier and helper of his fellow-men. As member of the firm of Morton, Bliss & Co., and afterwards of Drexel, Morgan & Co., he acquired wealth, which he dispensed in an admirable way. His benefactions were as large and as intelligently chosen, as they were modestly made. He gave the Neighborhood House of Grace Church, and with Mr. Morgan contributed heavily to the construction of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Interested in science as well as devoutly religious, he assisted liberally to promote the ends and further the enterprises of the American Museum of Natural History. He married Miss Julia Irving Grinnell.
