DAVID A. DE LlMA, commission merchant in the South American trade, born in the Island of Curacao, Dutch West Indies, Feb. 19, 1837, died in New York city. May 5, 1891. He was of Dutch descent, his ancestors coming from Amsterdam to Curacao in the latter part of the seventeenth century. He received his education in the island, and there also began his business career. He was married in 1860 to Sarah Wolff, daughter of Ralph Wolff and Judith Pinto, who, with five children, survived him. His sons are Elias, Edward and Charles, and his daughters Esther and Lylia. In 1870, Mr. De Lima came to this country, and, with a capital of $10,000, established a commission house, which, by dint of great perseverance, he gradually built up into one of the most important in its line. He was a sound, conservative and enterprising merchant, limiting himself strictly to his own affairs, and avoiding always all temptations of outside enterprises. Since his death the business has been continued by his oldest son and his son in law, under the firm name of D. A. De Lima & Co. During the years 1870-74, and 1877-78, Mr. De Lima represented the Dominican Republic in this city, as its Consul General. While acting in this capacity, he did everything in his power to secure the annexation of Santo Domingo to the United States. He was a director of the Board of Trade and Transportation, and The Panama Railroad, and a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Coffee Exchange.
