ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 10-01-2012 12:15 PM The Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online has a reference to William James Veith when Mr. Veith brought James Langford’s business in 1847. quote: LANGFORD, JAMES J. (or James I.) .... Langford died without a will. Nordbeck and Jane Langford then petitioned the Court of Probate to appoint as administrators of his estate Jane’s father, Daniel Grant, and Nordbeck himself, both of whom were creditors of Langford. The appointment was co-guaranteed by Alexander Troup and Charles D. Witham, both silversmiths and jewellers. Langford’s most valuable asset was his business, and it was quickly sold to William James Veith and George Witham. They used his symbol of the raised bent arm holding a hammer and in describing their services they mentioned the same products and the same patterns that Langford had offered. After the dissolution of their partnership two years later, Veith carried on alone until 1860. .... IP: Logged
