Early lifeJames Gamble was born at the Graan near Enniskillen in County Fermanagh in present-day Northern Ireland and went to Portora Royal School.[2] Gamble emigrated to America with his parents in 1819. He arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio on a flat boat down the Ohio River destined for Illinois. His family stopped in Cincinnati when he was seized with an illness. Staying in the city, his father established a nursery and Gamble apprenticed as a soap maker. He attended Kenyon College, graduated in 1824, and manufactured soap on his own in 1828. [3] Gamble went into business with William Procter after they became related by marriage. Gamble's wife Elizabeth Ann Norris was the sister of Procter's wife Olivia Norris. The pair's father-in-law, Alexander Norris, first suggested that the two go into business together in 1837 and consequently Procter & Gamble was born.[2][4] Gamble died at his residence in Cincinnati on 29 April 1891 from natural causes.[5] He is interred in Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati.[6] Procter, who preceded his partner Gamble in death, is also buried at Spring Grove Cemetery.[7] Family lifeGamble and Elizabeth Ann (Norris) Gamble had ten children,[1][2] including James Norris Gamble (9 August 1836 - 2 July 1932) who became Vice President of Procter & Gamble and was the chemist who devised the formula for Ivory soap.[1] James Norris Gamble married Margaret Penrose; he died in his sleep on 2 July 1932 in Cincinnati and is interred in Spring Grove Cemetery.[8][9] Gamble's grandson William married Franzeska Wilhelmina (Fanny) Nast, the daughter of the William Nast, a German-American Methodist preacher. Fanny was the first woman to graduate from German Wallace College in Berea, Ohio.[10] Notes1. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.nndb.com/people/815/000169308/ |title=James Gamble |work=NNDB |accessdate=11 September 2012}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/8419022.stm#gamble |title=Typhoid Mary and other curiosities in Irish biography |work=BBC News |accessdate=September 11, 2012}} 3. ^https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/23584667/james-gamble 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ohiobio.org/gamble.htm |title=James Gamble |work=Ohio Biography |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100124153544/http://www.ohiobio.org/gamble.htm |archivedate=24 January 2010 |accessdate=11 September 2012}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.springgrove.org/stats/50757.tif.pdf |title=James Gamble grave burial information |format=PDF |work=Spring Grove Cemetery |accessdate=11 September 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|url= http://retro.cincinnati.com/Topics/Spring-Grove-Cemetery|title= Spring Grove Cemetery|publisher= news.cincinnati.com|accessdate= 18 July 2014|deadurl= yes|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20140725185724/http://retro.cincinnati.com/Topics/Spring-Grove-Cemetery|archivedate= 25 July 2014|df= }} 7. ^{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_D3qf9b1s-gC&lpg=PA67&dq=1880%20cincinnati&pg=PA35#v=onepage&q=1880%20cincinnati&f=false | title=Cincinnati: From River City to Highway Metropolis | publisher=Arcadia Publishing | date=1 October 2003 | accessdate=25 May 2013 | author=Stradling, David | pages=35}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.springgrove.org/stats/111330.tif.pdf |title=James Norris Gamble grave burial information |format=PDF |work=Spring Grove Cemetery |accessdate=11 September 2012}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.springgrove.org/geneology-listing.aspx?firstname=James&lastname=Gamble&cemetery=SPRINGGROVE |title=Spring Grove Cemetery interment information |work=Spring Grove Cemetery |accessdate=11 September 2012}} 10. ^{{cite book |author1=Wittke, Carl Frederick|title=William Nast, patriarch of German Methodism.|year=1959|pages=218–219|publisher=Wayne State University Press}} External links
