Notes
1981 book:
Randolph was an upholsterer. He lived in Highland Park, Delaware Co., Pa., where he 
built the first house in that town. At the time he died, Randolph lived at 1715 N. 55th 
Street in Phila., Pa.
	One day in 1884, Randolph saved a young man from drowning. The would-
be victim, Tom Hickey, invited Randolph to dinner as a gesture of appreciation, 
because he could not, as he told Randolph, afford to do much else. Randolph met 
Tom's sister Mary, and apparently was sufficiently interested that he became a 
frequent visitor at the Hickey home and a most resolved suitor of Mary. Finally, 
Randolph asked Mary to marry him, and she replied that she could not, because 
Randolph was a Quaker and she was a Catholic, and that her church would forbid it. 
Randolph disappeared for a short time (his immediate response to Mary has not been 
preserved), and then once again appeared at the Hickey home, telling Mary that she 
could now marry him; when asked by Mary to explain, Randolph replied that he had 
taken instructions and had become a Catholic. Randolph and Mary were soon married.
	Randolph's change in religious persuasion was not disclosed to his parents 
until his engagement to Mary. Family accounts are that Edward, Randolph's father, 
immediately rewrote his will, taking Randolph out of it. It is not clear that this 
happened. It did not matter, because by the time the trust funds under Edward's will 
would have been available to Randolph and his family, the Depression had wiped out 
the family wealth, which had been invested too heavily in a few mortgages and banks, 
all of which failed.
    On Apr. 5, 1887, Randolph was disowned by the Society of Friends for marrying 
someone not a member of meeting.  Mary was born in Mar. 1864 in Pa., and died on 
Oct. 15, 1905, in Highland Park, Pa.
