About Samuel Lobel

Was the first of the Lobel's to immigrate to the USA; Louis soon followed. Samuel was about to be conscripted into the Romanian Army, which was extremely anti-semetic, and this is what motivated him to leave.

The two brothers opened a delicatessin on Broome Street in the Lower East Side. The rest of the family soon followed.

Samuel and Yetta lived on Clinton Street, near the deli. All of their kids were born there. When Aunt Bea was 9 they moved to 127 S 9th St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Then when she was 14 they moved to Morristown, NJ.

Need to find out when Samuel opened the Morristown Lobel's store...

(the Arrival document for his mother and several children in 1902 includes a "Sumer" age 9, which some have thought was "Sam" but based on age; confirmed by the fact we are told in Samuel's About Section that Samuel "Was the first of the Lobel's to immigrate to the USA", and that Sam's Petition for Naturalization says he arrived on or about July 1900 - Sumer is Not Sam, but rather is Sam's brother Sidney)
