Description
Josiah Penfield was born in Connecticut but spent most of his 43 years down south in Savannah. He contributed much to the city during its formative years by participating in every social, religious, and political function he could. When he died, most of his modest fortune he had worked so hard for was brilliantly distributed by him to causes which resulted in very fruitful results. Josiah was loved by many, not because of his unique business mind but because he used it to help so many.
