Biographical notes:

Benjamin Rose Hoffman was a wealthy Philadelphian who largely lived a life of leisure. He attended Haverford College (class of 1897) and administered his land holdings while travelling extensively. He lived with his mother (Mrs. Sellers Hoffman) and sisters (Hannah, Jessie, Agnes) at the family home, "Burnside," at 60th and Cobbs Creek in West Philadelphia, later purchasing the Grange estate in Overbrook. He married Margaret Clawson in 1922 and they travelled abroad often both together and separately. Hoffman frequented France and Great Britain in his earlier years, and was at leisure in Europe during World War I.
