About Morris (Mauritius Reich) Rich

Among these newly arriving Jews were the Rich brothers.  Morris and William Rich left Hungary in 1859 as young men, settling in Cincinnati.  In 1862, their brothers Daniel and Emanuel joined them.  After the Civil War, the brothers moved South.  William Rich opened a dry goods and clothing store in Atlanta in 1865, while David and Emanuel Rich opened a store in Albany, Georgia.  Morris Rich came to Atlanta in 1867, joining his brother William who helped him establish his own dry goods store.  David and Emanuel later moved to Atlanta and joined the business.  The M. Rich Dry Goods store started modestly, but eventually became the hugely successful Rich’s Department Store, which was run by members of the Rich family until they sold the chain of stores in 1976. http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/business-economy/richs-...
