| Photograph Collection | Save | | 1066 | Title: | Jacob Mintz Family Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Mintz, Jacob Family | | | | Dates: | 1870-1940 | | | | Abstract: | Jacob Mintz (1867-1947) was a prominent private detective in Cleveland, Ohio, for over fifty years. Native to Cleveland, Mintz was descended on his father's side from Polish Jewish immigrants of the 1850s and Prussian Jewish immigrants of the 1860s on his mother's side. Mintz was a picturesque, high-profile professional during his successful career. A number of his jobs involved major events of the era. He served as bodyguard to Carrie Nation, the anti-drinking crusader, when she spoke in Cleveland in 1901. That same year, Mintz escorted the immediate family of Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of President William McKinley, to Buffalo, New York, to visit him in the days immediately after the assassination. For a number of years, Mintz maintained a close business and political partnership with Charles P. Salen, a Cuyahoga County Democratic party stalwart. Together they operated Forest City Park, an amusement park, as well as refreshment stands at Public Square, Luna Park, and Gordon Gardens. Mintz served many years as treasurer of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party Central committee and secretary of the Cuyahoga County Police Chiefs and Marshals Association. Notwithstanding his colorful public image, he was respected for his gentility and deportment. A Cleveland paper stated, "By his many estimable traits of character, he has...won the highest esteem of all with whom he comes in contact both socially and in business." The collection includes 44 black and white photographs. | | | | Call #: | PG 534 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Bellefaire Jewish Children's Home (Shaker Heights, Ohio) | Crime and criminals -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Mintz family | Mintz, Carl. | Mintz, Jacob, 1867-1947 | Private investigators -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1078 | Title: | Bellefaire Records, Series III
| | | | Creator: | Bellefaire | | | | Dates: | 1900-2003 | | | | Abstract: | Bellefaire, a residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed adolescents, is the oldest Jewish social-service agency in Cleveland, Ohio. It was dedicated on July 14, 1868 as the Jewish Orphan Asylum, established to care for Civil War orphans. By 1900, more than 400 orphans lived there. The name was changed to the Jewish Orphan Home (JOH) in 1919, and later to Bellefaire when its facilities moved to the corner of Belvoir and Fairmount Boulevards in 1929. In 1942 the orphanage changed its focus to include residential therapeutic care for emotionally disturbed children. It stopped accepting orphans in 1943. In 1954, Bellefaire opened its admissions to children of all faiths and today provides counseling, substance abuse treatment, foster care, adoption services, and residential treatment. Jack Girick, whose papers are included in this collection, was a resident of the Jewish Orphan Asylum from 1902 to 1912. While a resident, he served as a monitor, assisted the superintendent in conducting Sabbath religious services, and was elected president of the Literary Union and the Athletic Association of the Home. Girick was sent to Central High School, and then to Hebrew Union College to train for the rabbinate. In 1917 he left school and returned to the Jewish Orphan Home, where he became governor of the Home from 1917 to 1922 and then assistant superintendent from 1922 to 1938. He remained active in the Jewish Orphan Home Alumni Association until his death in 1988. The Jewish Orphan Home Alumni Association was established in 1888 to serve and connect the orphans who formerly lived at the Jewish Orphan Home. The Association held Homecomings each year in Cleveland and had several active chapters located throughout the country. "Graduates" of JOH were designated by the year of their confirmation class. The collection consists of bulletins, correspondence, books, membership lists, minutes, magazines, and directories. | | | | Call #: | MS 5100 | | | | Extent: | 1.50 linear feet (3 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Girick, Jack, 1896-1988. | Bellefaire Jewish Children's Home (Shaker Heights, Ohio) | Jewish Orphan Asylum (Shaker Heights, Ohio) | Jewish orphanages -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish orphanages -- Ohio -- University Heights. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Jews -- Ohio -- University Heights -- Charities. | Mentally ill children -- Care -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Mentally ill children -- Care -- Ohio -- University Heights. | Child psychotherapy -- Residential treatment -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Child psychotherapy -- Residential treatment -- Ohio -- University Heights. | Child welfare -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Child welfare -- Ohio -- University Heights.
