Biographical Note

Abraham Rosenberg (1859-1920) immigrated from Poland in 1875 to Abbeville, South Carolina, to help run a family store established by his cousin Wolfe Rosenberg. In 1884, Abe opened his own clothing store in Greenwood, South Carolina. He married Rebecca Winstock in 1885. The couple had six children: Herbert Jerome (1886-1963), Sam (1887-1953), Marion (1889-1984), Ernest (2892-1978), Evelyn (1895-1996), and Helen (1898-1898).
