from "Printers and Printing in Providence, 1762 - 1907" prepared by a committee of Providence Typographical Union #33 as a souvenir of the 50th anniversary of its institution printed in 1907 "The Journeymen" (part 162) p. LXXIV. "THOMAS M. ROUNDS - Died Providence April 22, 1892, in the 74th year of his age; he learned printing in the office of Knowles & Vose, and was a journeyman on the Journal in 1845 - '47. Member of Common Council of the city of Providence from the Fourth Ward 1867 to 1869 and in 1876; from the Sixth Ward 1877 to 1882 and in 1886 to 1888. ANGELO RUFFO - Born Naples, Italy, April 13, 1864; learned printing in New York city, beginning in 1896; published the Harlem Courier, an Italian weekly paper, in New York for nine years; also in the same city L'Araldo Italiano, daily; worked in Providence on l'Eco; admitted to Providence Union in January, 1906; now a master printer in this city. ANNA RUSHLOW (Miss) - Born 1877; learned printing at Phillip & Casey's, Rouse's Point, N. Y., beginning in 1891; initiated into Lowell Union, No. 310; admitted to Providence Union by card Feb. 7, 1904. THOMAS RUSHTON - Born Coventry, England, May 19, 1832. When a boy of 9, he came to New York with his father, where they remained a year. He distinctly remembered seeing President Tyler and the ceremonies attending the introduction of the Croton water into New York. Returning to England, at the age of 14, he began to learn printing. At the end of seven years he became a journeyman and also a freeman of his native city. That is to say, anyone who has served seven years at a trade, appearing before the mayor of the city and having the fact certified to by his employer, is made a freeman of the city with certain special privileges. Thus at the time of his death Mr. Rushton was nearly eligible to a pension of $1.50 a week. Working at his trade for a time in England, he again came to America, this time settling in Providence in 1863, where he worked on the Press until 1868, when he returned to the old country. After a year's absence he returned to Providence, working on the Press again, and later on the Star. In 1872 he removed to Boston, finding employment on the Globe. In 1881 he took a vacation of six months, travelling in England and on the continent. He then returned to his work on the Globe, and the rest of his life was uneventful. In 1898 his health failed perceptibly, and after a short illness he passed away on Nov. 19, 1900, at the age of 68 years and 6 months. He left a widow and two children. One of them, Thomas Rushton, is employed on the Globe; the other is the wife of R. W. Townsend, also an employe of the Globe. While in Providence Mr. Rushton was a frequent contributor in prose and verse to the Evening Press of that city. JAMES H. RUSSELL - Born Providence Jan. 14, 1859; learned printing at office of Franklin Printing Co., beginning in 1876; was foreman of the Telegram until the strike in 1889; foreman of the Pawtucket Times for five years; worked several years on the Weekly Visitor; now assistant foreman of Worcester Telegram. He was initiated into Providence Union April 8, 1883, and has held many important offices in it, including that of I. T. U. delegate in 1888." continued in part 163.
