About David Romm
Please see the illuminating document, "The Romm Printing and Publishing House", compiled and edited by Catherine Brun, the fifth great-granddaughter of Baruch Romm. It is a fascinating, comprehensive history of the famous Romm printing house, the largest in Eastern Europe in the 19th century, which was in operation continuously for more than 120 years. The document can be found under the Media tab in this profile. _______________________________________________________________________________
AKA David Ramm
According to the Litvak SIG All Lithuania Revision List Database-Part 2, David, son of Rubin, was age 25 in January of 1851. That gives his birthdate as 1826, instead of 1823 above. On this list he is also listed as the father of a son, Yokel, age 5.

Died at the age of 37.
ROMM:
Family of printers and publishers of Hebrew books in Wilna. The family formerly lived in Grodno, where the book-dealer Baruch b. Joseph Romm established a printing-office in 1789. The Romm Hebrew printing-office was the first in Lithuania, and its authorization by King Stanislaus August was considered an important event. In 1799 Baruch removed to Wilna, where he died April 29, 1803. The business was inherited by his son Menahem Man Romm, who in 1835 began, in partnership with Simḥah Zimel of Grodno, the crowning effort of a Jewish printer's career—the publication of a new edition of the Talmud. The first volumes of that edition bear the imprint "Wilna and Grodno"; the later volumes have that of Wilna only; but the work was really done in Ozar, near Grodno.
Menahem Romm died Oct. 13, 1841, and was succeeded by his only son, Joseph Reuben Romm, under whom the printing-house was formally established in Wilna in 1847, although the report of a conflagration ("Allg. Zeit. des Jud." 1840, No. 20) proves that it had even previously been of considerable size and importance. He died Feb. 28, 1858, and left three sons, David, Ḥayyim Jacob (d. Aug. 30, 1869), and Menahem Gabriel. David, who was the head of the firm, died suddenly March 9, 1860, while on his way from St. Petersburg, where he had obtained a practical monopoly of the Hebrew printing and publishing business in Russia. After his death the monopoly was broken, and numerous printing establishments sprang up in various parts of the empire. In 1863 the present firm name, "Witwe und Brüder Romm," was adopted; and the house has maintained its position as the foremost Jewish publishing concern in Russia, if not in the world. Deborah Romm, David's widow, took an active interest in the firm's affairs until her death on Dec. 3, 1903. Three of her sons reside in New York.
