Stehardo's Story Born on Cape Good Hope in 1806
Bernard Stephardo, a learned chemical scholar and doctor born to Spanish parents on the Cape of Good Hope in 1806, ends life in Pittsburg as a 10-cent lodginghouse beggar. Once a medical specialist with an Cecil Ukay office, he wandered the world and produced scientific papers before subsisting in poverty behind a stair nook. The 84 year old, thin, sickly man is said to have been found by a former drug merchant who reported him to police and arranged hospital care.
