| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Ratner Family Papers
| | | | Creator: | Ratner Family | | | | Dates: | 1891-2007 | | | | Abstract: | The Ratner (formerly Ratowczer) family has been prominent in the Cleveland, Ohio, area since the mid-twentieth century. The family immigrated to the United States in 1920 and settled in Cleveland in 1921. Leonard Ratner began his business career by opening two creameries in the Glenville neighborhood. He then formed the Buckeye Material Company in 1924, later merging it with his brother Charlie's business, Forest City Material Company, in 1929, to form the B & F Building Company, a major builder of prefabricated homes in the east side suburbs. The family consolidated their business interests into Forest City Enterprises, Inc. in 1960. Leonard Ratner married Lillian Bernstein in 1924 and had two children: Ruth Ratner Miller and Albert B. Ratner. Leonard Ratner held many important positions on community boards during his lifetime, including the positions of honorary life trustee at the Jewish Welfare Federation, the Jewish Community Federation, and Mount Sinai Hospital. His children were also heavily involved in philanthropy. The Ratner family was particularly instrumental in establishing the Cleveland Jewish Archives at the Western Reserve Historical Society in 1976. The collection consists of advertisements, annual reports, census reports, certificates, correspondence, reports, lists, newspaper clippings, newsletters, programs, scrapbooks, ship manifests, songs, and speeches. | | | | Call #: | MS 5044 | | | | Extent: | 9.00 linear feet (2 containers, 14 oversize volumes, and 1 oversize folder,) | | | | Subjects: | Ratner, Leonard, 1896-1974. | Miller, Ruth Ratner, 1926-1996. | Ratner, Albert B., 1927- | Ratner family. | Forest City Enterprises, Inc. | Lillian and Betty Ratner School (Pepper Pike, Ohio) | Jewish businesspeople -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish women -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Philanthropists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Building materials industry -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Architects and builders -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Real estate development -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Real estate developers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Genealogy. | Białystok (Poland) -- Genealogy.

| | | | Creator: | Severance Family | | | | Dates: | 1826-1989 | | | | Abstract: | The Severance family was a prominent Cleveland, Ohio, family known for its philanthropic activities. Solon Severance, a Cleveland banker, was the son of Solomon Severance and Mary Helen Long, and a brother of Louis Severance. He was also a descendent of John Walworth, an early settler of Cleveland who was a civil engineer and was appointed in 1806 as the Custom Collector for the District of Erie. Solon's wife, Emily Allen, was the daughter of Dr. Dudley Allen, and the sister of prominent surgeon Dudley P. Allen. Solon and Emily's daughter, Julia Severance Millikin, was the wife of Benjamin Millikin, a noted Cleveland opthalmologist. Julia's children included Helen Millikin Nash and Severance, Marianne, Dudley, and Louise Millikin. The collection consists of historical and biographical data on various family members; diaries and travel journals, especially of Julia Severance Millikin and her mother, Emily Allen Severance; correspondence, especially between Julia and her mother, Emily Severance; wills, genealogical notes, deeds, notices of events, and newspaper clippings. Among the correspondence are numerous letters from Julia's friends from Wells College. The collection also includes a certificate appointing John Walworth collector for the district of Erie, 1806, and a journal kept by Dudley Allen detailing early medical practice in the area. There is also material on author Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) and his voyage around the world, which included Solon and Emily Severance, and became the basis of his novel "The Innocents Abroad". | | | | Call #: | MS 4558 | | | | Extent: | 4.00 linear feet (4 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Severance family. | Allen family. | Long family. | Millikin family. | Nash family. | Severance, Solon Lewis, 1834-1915. | Allen, Peter, 1787-1864. | Allen, Dudley Peter, 1852-1915 | Long, David, 1787-1851. | Long, Juliana Walworth, 1794-1866. | Millikin, Benjamin L., 1851-1916. | Severance, Mary Helen, 1816-1902. | Severance, John Long, 1863-1936. | Walworth, John, 1765-1812. | Millikin, Julia Severance, 1862-1950. | Allen, Dudley, 1814-1898. | Nash, Helen Millikin, 1893-1990. | Prentiss, Elisabeth Severance, 1865-1944. | Severance, Emily Allen, 1840-1921. | Twain, Mark, 1835-1910 | Wells College. | Women -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Women college graduates -- Correspondence. | Medicine -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Philanthropists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Voyages and travels. | Voyages around the world. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- 19th century. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Genealogy.
