DIED
On Wednesday, at Solihull, aged 70. Mr Richard Reeves. For more than forty years he followed the several occupations of Brazier, Tinker, Jeweller, Whitesmith, and Locksmith, with great and manifold sucess. In addition to these multifarious occupations he shaved and cut the hair of two generations in Solihull. He was no mean proficient in music, being a very good player on the flute and violin, and the oldest bellringer in the parish. He always made his own shoes.

This may be a repeat of combined occupations because I haven't looked all the old posts over closely enough, but Elijah H Petit is listed in the 1900 U S Federal Census for Plains, Rockingham County, Virginia as a silversmith and cobbler.

Here's another goldsmith who got into undergarments.
Peter (otherwise Pierre) Jouet, the one with the biography on page 565 of Grimwade's book, was doubling as a goldsmith and hoop petticoat maker at the time he wrote his Will (National Archives reference PROB 11/731/60).

Jeweler and Issuer of Marriage Licenses
A letter recently received by a San Francisco jeweler from Theodore E. Strutz, jeweler at Hanna, Alberta, Can., reveals a new department of the business. Mr. Strutz has on his letterheads the announcement: "Issuer of Marriage Licenses." It's a new angle that has not been tried in this country.
