Additional Description

General

Note that a large collection of papers and ledgers dated 1886-1993 were donated to the Huntsville-Madison Public Library and transferred to UAH archives in 2011. This collection documents the personal loan business begun by Solomon Schiffman and continued after his death by Isaac Schiffman for the benefit of Solomon's wife, Bertha Schiffman, and from 1922-1933 for her estate. The ledgers in this collection provide background for the I. Schiffman collection loan business which was continued after his death by nephew, Isaac Schiffman.
