| | Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 1 | Title: | Ruth Wiener Einstein Family Papers
| | | | Creator: | Einstein, Ruth Wiener Family | | | | Dates: | 1860-1977 | | | | Abstract: | Ruth Wiener Einstein and her family were involved in numerous Jewish organizations and projects in Cleveland, Ohio. Educated in Cleveland at Central High School and Flora Stone Mather College of Western Reserve University, Ruth Wiener married Jacob L. Einstein in 1903. His father, Leopold Einstein, along with several cousins, had founded the Ullman Brothers (later the Ullman, Einstein) Company, one of the largest liquor distilleries in the United States. Ruth Wiener Einstein's grandfather, Abraham Aub, was a founder and first president of the Jewish Orphan Asylum (later, Bellefaire). Her father, Abraham Wiener, also served as a president of that organization and was the Director of Charities and Corrections (1889-1901) under Cleveland mayor John Farley. Her mother, Bella Aub Wiener, was one of the founders of the Cleveland Section, National Council of Jewish Women, and the Council Educational Alliance (later the Jewish Community Center). Ruth Wiener Einstein founded Cleveland's Jewish Big Sisters in 1920. She also served as a Board member of the Cleveland Section, National Council of Jewish Women; Montefiore Home; Bellefaire; Jewish Family Service Association; Jewish Community Center; and the Jewish Community Federation. One of her most notable achievements was the founding of Council Gardens, a housing complex for the elderly. She and Jacob Einstein had three children; Paul (Einstein) Eden, Edith (Mrs. Samuel O. Freedlander), and Jane (Mrs. Eldy S. Gross). The collection consists of correspondence, speeches, financial records, legal documents, newspaper clippings, and awards and tributes of various family members. Includes the articles of incorporation and other business materials of the Ullman, Einstein Company. | | | | Call #: | MS 4656 | | | | Extent: | 0.81 linear feet (2 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Einstein, Ruth Wiener, 1882-1977. | Einstein family. | Wiener family. | Baer family. | Aub, Abraham, 1813-1879. | Wiener, Abraham, 1839-1921. | Wiener, Bella Aub, d. 1923. | Einstein, Leopold. | Einstein, Jacob L., d. 1919. | Ullman, Einstein Company. | Council Gardens (Cleveland Heights, Ohio) | National Council of Jewish Women.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Eleanor Rosenfeld Gerson Family Papers
| | | | Creator: | Gerson, Eleanor Rosenfeld Family | | | | Dates: | 1817-1993 | | | | Abstract: | Eleanor Rosenfeld Gerson continued her family's tradition of activism in Jewish and other educational, philanthropic, and social service organizations in Cleveland, Ohio. She served as a trustee and chairperson of the School on Magnolia, an alternative school, from 1973-1982. In 1985 the school was renamed the Eleanor Gerson School. Other organizations she was active in included the American Civil Liberties Union of Greater Cleveland, the Women's Community Foundation, the Jewish Family Service Association, the Jewish Community Federation, Mount Sinai Hospital, the Free Clinic of Greater Cleveland, the Heights Area Project, and the Cleveland Scholarship Program. Eleanor Rosenfeld married Benjamin Gerson in 1937, and had four children. She was the great-granddaughter of Edward Lazarus and Henrietta Wilmersdorfer Rosenfeld, who had immigrated to New York City from Uhlfeld, Germany in the mid-nineteenth century. Their son, Louis Rosenfeld, married Frederica Fatman, daughter of Joseph Fatman, in 1874. Joseph Fatman and his brother, Aaron, were owners of the firm of Fatman and Company, tobacco dealers. In December 1862, they were among the thirty Jewish merchants ordered out of Paducah, Kentucky, in the Department of the Tennessee by General U.S. Grant's Order Number 11. Eleanor Gerson's parents, Edward Lazarus and Bertha Rosenfeld, moved to Cleveland from New York City in 1925. Edward was an executive in his father-in-law Emanuel Rosenfeld's firm, Grabler Manufacturing Company. He was also active on the boards of many Jewish social service organizations. Bertha Rosenfeld was a founder of the Council of Jewish Women's Jewish Big Sister organization, and was active in other Jewish and women's groups. Bertha's parents, Emanuel and Lena Rosenfeld, came to Cleveland in the 1870s from Germany and were members of Temple Tifereth Israel. Lena Rosenfeld was an active member of the Cleveland Section, National Council of Jewish Women and The Temple's Women's Association. The collection consists of correspondence, legal and genealogical documents, diaries, account books, and newspaper and other clippings of the Rosenfeld, Fatman, and Gerson family members. Of particular interest to Civil War historians are contemporaneous documents relating to General Grant's Order Number 11 which expelled Jews from areas in the jurisdiction of the Department of the Tennessee. | | | | Call #: | MS 4660 | | | | Extent: | 0.80 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Gerson, Eleanor Rosenfeld, 1916-2000 | Rosenfeld family. | Gerson family. | Fatman family. | Fatman, Joseph. | Gerson, Benjamin S., 1911-1973. | Rosenfeld, Edward Lazarus, 1817-1891. | Rosenfeld, Louis, 1848-1901. | Rosenfeld, Edward Lazarus, 1875-1947. | Rosenfeld, Bertha, 1881-1959. | Rosenfeld, Frederica Fatman. | United States.
