Note: !Washington Augustus Roebling was a Colonel in the Civil War. He was also the builder of the Brooklyn Bridge, which was begun 25 Oct 1869, and opened 24 May 1883. It took 14 long years to build.
"In the 14 years Washington was under water so much that like others he developed the 'Bends' and suffered. Lost sight, hearing, nerves and movements. Only the brain was working. After they removed to Troy to be near their son, who was at R.P.I. He
graduated in 1888 and they moved back to Trenton. They built a 'commodius mansion in the Tutor style', grounds sloping to the Delaware River. It took several years to build and they moved in in 1892. Emily had expensive carriages, the finest horses,
which she insisted to always drive herself. She entertained often and was mentioned in the Trenton society columns. She was active in the women's clubs, studied Law at New York University and received her degree. Traveled twice to Europe. In 1896
she went to Russia and was at the coronation of Tsar Nicholas and the Empress Alexandra. Emily was an erect, confident-looking woman in her early fifties, a little stout but regal. They went to the Chicago Exposition in 1893, Martha's Vineyard and
New York and walked the BRIDGE in private. Emily's health began to fail when he was in the New York hospital and she kept going. She died of cancer of the stomach.
Washington's health kept improving although he was always in discomfort.
Five years after Emily's death he owned an estate worth about $29 million. He and his brothers built a village in 1904 in Kinkora, NJ. He married Mrs. Cornelia Witsell Farrow of Charleston, SC, a widow about the age of his son. He almost became at
times jovial. Always in pain, he lost all of his teeth and had the fear of dying of tetanus like his father. He had a super mineral collection, was a plant lover and was always in company with his dog."
.
After the deaths of his brothers he ran the vast industrial empire. For five years he was up at seven-thirty, had his breakfast, took the trolly to work, with his dog. He had no secretary, preferring to handle his correspondence in longhand. He was
blind in one eye, almost totally deaf, and weighed 120 ponds. He looked frail and old. He was forceful and knew absolutely all there was to know about every facet of the business. He decided to change all the mills over to electric power, instead of
steam. An entirely new department for the electrolytic galvanizing of wire was set up under his direction and the contract for the cables of the Bear Mountain Bridge, over the Hudson - among other bridges - was taken and completed during the time he
was in charge. His answer to all was "Because it's all in my head." It's my job to carry the responsibility and you can't desert the job. In 1924 at the request of the Butler County Historical Association he sat down and wrote a detailed account of
the early days of Saxonburg. During 1926 he was failing rapidly. He died peacefully at age 89, on 21 Jul 1926, with his wife and son at his bedside, and was buried beside Emily in Cold Spring, NY.

Death: 21 JUL 1926
