Handleman and Jacobs Scrapbook--Atwood, Colorado, c.1867-c.1970
This scrapbook contains images of individuals from the Handleman and Jacobs families. The Handleman family was an instrumental family in the Atwood colony--surviving longer than many who homesteaded the colony. One image in the scrapbook is from the Atwood colony in 1917 (at which point the Handleman family was one of, if not the last, remaining family).
Herman Weinberger, circa 1928-1953
Born in 1844, and descended from Hungarian and Galician families, Weinberger emigrated to the U.S. in 1888, folowing several years of teaching, brewery management, cattle trading and farming. In Denver he worked as a clerk and grocer, residing on Market Street. Herman and his wife Nettie were founders of B.M. H. Synagogue. A stained glass window was created in their honor at B.M. H. in 1953, by their children.
