• Notes

  Was 3 years old when his parents came over from near Riga Hyman's daughter, Marion writes: "My father, Hyman, went to Central High School (Scranton PA), Money was hard to come by and sometimes there was scarcely enough for the whole family. Pop would often go off to school without breakfast. On the way, he passed Wolfgan's Bakery. He would stop for a moment to stare at the goodies displayed there. One day Mrs. Wolfgang came out and gave him a cake which he was very happy to receive. Thereafter, whenever he went by, she would come out and give him something. "But high school didn't last long for Pop. One day he got into an argument with the principal and pushed him down the stairs. That was the end of Pop's high school education. He then attended Lackawanna Business School from which he eventually graduated. He became bookkeeper for a food broker. He was earning $20 a week, which was enough to support a wife in those days. The food broker told him of a grocery store in Green Ridge (a section of Scranton) that was for sale. He bought the store, at 2511 Olyphant Avenue, and he and my mother were married on December 24, 1911. Listed as “Hyman Toren” in 1930 Scranton census. Birthdate listed as abt 1892 in 1930 Scranton census. Birthplace lsited as “Russia” in 1930 Scranton census. [6]
