The family moved to Selters at some point, where Hermann opened a shoemaking shop.

According to Barbara BECKER:

"Wolf Blumenthal war Kaufmann in Nordhofen und starb am 3.10.1873 in Nordhofen. Die Sterbeurkunde liegt bei.
Er war 31 Jahre! älter als Regina. Regina stand nun mit ihren 5 Kindern ohne Ernäher da und heiratete am 14.10.1879 den katholischen Schuhmacher Johann Blum. Das ist das 3. Dokument, das ich anhänge.
Auch Hermann Blumenthal wurde Schuhmacher wie sein Stiefvater und eröffnete in Selters ein Schuhgeschäft.
Dieses Schuhgeschäft führte später sein Sohn Karl weiter und dann die Tochter Paula später verheiratete Briefwechsler."

cf. eg. two listings - one in the form of an advertisement for his shoemaking business - in the 1922 Selters address book - shown here under "Media".
