1Title:  Jacob Goldsmith Family Papers     
 Creator:  Goldsmith, Jacob Family 
 Dates:  1868-1988 
 Abstract:  Jacob Goldsmith was born in Ellerstadt, Bavaria, and was an early member of the Jewish community of Cleveland, Ohio. In 1852, at the age of 16, he emigrated to the United States, where he was naturalized in 1857. Goldsmith first resided in Akron, Ohio, but soon moved to Cleveland, Ohio. In 1863, he married Louisa Koch. She died in 1864, and in 1870, he married her sister, Fanny Koch. In 1865, with Julius Feiss, Goldsmith joined the clothing firm of Koch, Mayer and Company. The company eventually became the Joseph and Feiss Company. The collection consists of correspondence, naturalization records, a co-partnership agreement, and a family history.
