Family History
Simon Dryfoos owned this home with his wife, Rachel Lehman Dryfoos. The couple had four children, Henry, Sidney, Minette and Alfred.
Below is the house and the Dryfoos family.
Mr. Dryfoos’ biography was written in a book titled “Twentieth Century History of Sandusky County Ohio and Representative Citizens” Edited and compiled by Basil Meek, Fremont Ohio. Published by Richmond-Arnold Publishing Co. Chicago 1909″:
“Dryfoos and Bach, a firm name representing the oldest established clothing house at Fremont and one of the leading business concerns of the city, is located in fine quarters in the “Dryfoos & Bach Block”, on South Front Street. It was established in 1850 by I. and M. Dryfoos, natives of Germany, and older brothers of Simon Dryfoos, who is now the senior member of the firm. (Book was written when Mr. Dryfoos was still living). The first firm name was I. and M. Dryfoos Clothiers, later becoming Dryfoos Brothers, and still later, Dryfoos Brothers and Bach, which continued until 1892, when the present firm style was assumed.
Simon Dryfoos was born November 24, 1844 in Germany, and is a son of Henry Dryfoos. In 1866, he came to America and located at Fremont, and he has made this city his home, for more than forty-three years. In 1873, he became a member in the firm of “Dryfoos Brothers and Bach”. He was married about this time to Rachel Lehman and they have four children; Henry, Sidney,Minette, and Alfred. Mr. Dryfoos owns a beautiful residence on Birchard Avenue.
In the good old days of the clothing business, it was the general habit to put a price on an article and after a certain seemingly necessary amount of dickering, sell the article for less price than asked at first. The members of the firm have brought about a different method in Fremont, one more dignified and honorable, having but one price and thereby treating all customers alike.
Their reputation for reliability and honesty, is known all through the county.
