| Notes |
- Emigrated from Pyrmont, Waldeck Germany (near Hamburg)to Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1855 to work for his cousin, Mannes Israel, in M. Israel Dry Goods...a large variety store that Mannes Israel owned and operated there. The business was dissolved 1 February 1890, when "Joseph dropped out" (?); it went on as Rosenbaum & Speyer. The "Rosenbaum" was Simon; the Speyers, Joseph and Sigmund. It is not known what brought Mannes Israel to Kalamazoo in 1844(?), but he was definitely an EARLY settler...,"the first Jew to arrive in Kalamazoo". Mannes was much admired and loved by the Rosenbaums (a "first cousin" of Simon and Samuel, ,although precise nature of the relationship is not established.) Simon married Rieckchen Romberg of Berlin, Prussia, and had one daughter, Emma. ====================================================================== == Database: Full Context of Michigan Biographies, 1878 American Biographical History of Eminent and Self-Made Men with Portrait Illustrations on Steel, Volumes I-II Name: Simon Rosenbaum Dry-Goods Merchant, Kalamazoo, Michigan, is a son of Susman and Caroline (Bermann) Rosenbaum. He was born in Pyrmont, Waldeck, Germany, April 13, 1832. His early educational advantages were confined to the common schools of his native place. After leaving school, where he was distinguished for his rapid progress in learning, he continued his self-education by careful study of German literature, devoting his attention to the works of its most eminent authors, with an interest bordering on enthusiasm. At the age of fourteen, he entered the dry-goods store of his father, in which he continued, as clerk, for nine years; and, by his untiring industry, contributed greatly to its financial success. At the end of this time, he received from a friend an urgent invitation to come to America, where be arrived in 1855, and found a situation awaiting him in the dry-goods store of Mr. Israel, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Here, by his business talent, energy, and fidelity, he soon won for himself the confidence and friendship of his employer. In 1865 he was admitted as a partner; and, at the death of Mr. Israel, in 1868, took the entire charge of the business. He has conducted it ever since, giving, by his untiring zeal and sterling integrity, full satisfaction to all. He is noted for the salutary influence he exerts upon the young men in his employment. He is frugal in his habits, strict towards himself, but lenient in his judgment of others. He has been several times to Europe, and has visited all the important cities on this continent. He worships with the Israelites, but evinces no prejudice towards those of a different faith. Since he became a citizen of the United States, he has always voted with the Republican party. He married, February 27, 1865, Rieckchen Romberg, a lady of superior intellectual culture, having received her education in the most celebrated schools of Berlin, Prussia. They have one child,--a daughter. Mr. Rosenbaum is unassuming in his manners, and shrinks from parade of any kind. The late financial depression has left him unharmed, and he is now in a more prosperous condition than ever before. Database: Philadelphia, 1789-1880 Naturalization RecordsDecember 26, 2003 8:04 AM
