Milton Shaffer
History / Biographical
Milton Shaffer was born October 8, 1916 in Ottawa, Ontario. He was the son of American-born Abraham Shaffer and Mary Baslaw (original family name was Boguslawsky), who was born in Poltava, Ukraine and immigrated to New York around 1890. He had two brothers, Irving and Harold, who were born in New York, and an older sister, Beatrice and a younger brother, Sheldon, both of whom were born in Ottawa. The Shaffers moved to Ottawa around 1911; Abraham’s parents, Samuel and Mary, nee Katz, were already established there. Abraham and Mary established The Ottawa Bargain Store at 147 Rideau. The family lived above the store until they moved into a home on Marlborough Avenue in Sandy Hill. They continued to operate Shaffer’s Ltd. at the Rideau Street location until 1966. Milton attended York Street School and Lisgar Collegiate Institute. He was active in the Boy Scouts movement and Camp B’nai Brith, and co-founded a chapter of AZA. He and Sarah Fine, younger daughter of Leon and Rachel Feller Fine, had been ‘sweethearts’ since childhood. They married on September 11, 1938 in Montreal. They had three daughters: Ingrid Shaffer Robinson Shapiro (born 1941); Marilyn Shaffer Kimmel (born 1943); Wendy Shaffer Green (born 1945). Milton joined the family business upon graduation from Lisgar and continued there until the business closed some 30 years later. During the Second World War, he volunteered with the Civil Defense Corp and was involved in efforts to control wartime profiteering. Milton was an enthusiastic person willing to share his ideas with anyone who would listen. He was active in the Ottawa Jewish Historical Society, the Lisgar Collegiate Alumni Association, and the Britannia Yacht Club, where he and Sarah sailed and had an active social life. Sarah died in Ottawa in 2012; Milton died in 2015, three months short of his 99th birthday. They were survived by their daughters, 6 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren.

History / Biographical
Esther Dorsky (Dorskaya) immigrated from Russia in 1926. She was unmarried and probably came to Ottawa to join her cousin in the Evenchick family who had already settled in Ottawa. Archie Goldfield immigrated from Elizabetgrad, Kherson, Russia in 1899 with his parents Myer and Annie, his two brothers Ben and Charles, a sister Pearl, and his grandmother, also named Pearl Goldfield. Esther and Archie were married on April 1, 1928 by Rabbi Jacob Mirsky. Esther and Archie had no children. Initially, Archie opened a butcher shop with his father Myer and later went into business with his brother Charles. Esther similarly worked in her husband's shop. When the business was moved from Bank Street to the Byward market, Charles moved into the drover side of cattle while Archie continued the butcher shop and was active in the Jewish community. Charles’s sons, Morley Goldfield (m. Diane Aultschuler) and Jack Goldfield (d. October 9, 1991), worked in their uncle Archie's store on Saturdays and holidays in the 1940's. The Byward location, on Murray Street near Anglesea Square sold, among other products, hot dogs and smoked meats. They always had a stand at the annual Ottawa Exhibition. Charles’s wife Eva operated the Ottawa Kosher Catering Service until her sudden death in 1957. She was the only Jewish caterer in Ottawa for much of the time she was in business.

Samuel performed the duties of mishgaich for Beth Shalom Synagogue when it first opened in 1956 - 1957. Samuel's daughter Lillian Cohen married Frank Fried in 1927. Frank Fried’s father owned a General Store in North Bay and had sent Frank to Ottawa to buy furs at Davidson’s where he met Lillian who was working as a bookkeeper. They lived in North Bay where their daughter Phyllis (Fried) Rackow was born. The General Store was lost in 1929 and the Fried's moved to Ottawa where Frank worked in security at Freiman’s Department store. In 1937 Frank moved to Toronto and worked in a wholesale vegetable business until his premature death in 1939.

Rose married Louis Abramowitz, and after his death she married Maxwell Kalman.

He had several business partners over the years, including Joe Roodman, Max Uditsky, a Smolkin and Misha Zbar. Samuel’s daughters Rose, Doris, and Lillian did his bookkeeping. Samuel made weekly trips to local farms and his wife often accompany him. He would be up at four o’clock to drive to the farm suppliers and bring the cattle and chickens to the abattoir on Riverside Drive. He retired in 1948. Misha Zbar and his son, Benjamin continued the Kosher Meat Market business until Misha and his wife immigrated to Israel. Benjamin Zbar then became a partner of United Kosher Meat & Deli. Samuel performed the duties of mishgaich for Beth Shalom Synagogue when it first opened in 1956 - 1957. Samuel's daughter Lillian Cohen married Frank Fried in 1927. Frank Fried’s father owned a General Store in North Bay and had sent Frank to Ottawa to buy furs at Davidson’s where he met Lillian who was working as a bookkeeper. They lived in North Bay where their daughter Phyllis (Fried) Rackow was born. The General Store was lost in 1929 and the Fried's moved to Ottawa where Frank worked in security at Freiman’s Department store. In 1937 Frank moved to Toronto and worked in a wholesale vegetable business until his premature death in 1939. Lillian and Phyllis returned to Ottawa and lived with her grandparents, Samuel and Ida Cohen. Sons Arthur and Irving helped from time to time in the meat business but never worked there permanently. Arthur went into the furrier business and Irving became a salesman and later the manager of a men's wear store. Daughter Rose went to Lisgar Collegiate and followed in her sister's footsteps working as a bookkeeper for Davidsons Furs. Rose married Louis Abramowitz, and after his death she married Maxwell Kalman. Rose and Louis operated Harper’s Dress Shop at 101 Bank Street across from the Capital Theatre and then moved to Rideau Street.

History / Biographical
Louis Davis was born in Rumania in 1880 and came to Canada in 1900 at which time he took up residence in Ottawa. One year later he married Ida Horwitz (1875-1957). Reverend Jacob Mirsky officiated the ceremony at 464 Sussex Street. Louis went into business retailing second hand goods. The business was first based out of the home of his father-in-law at 481 Wellington Street and eventually he operated a 5¢ to $1 store on Sparks Street, which later became the location of the Cavendish Cafe. Louis and Ida were childless and adopted a daughter, Ruth, who later married Hugo Levendel. Louis passed away in April 1941. In his obituary he was remembered as “one of the most prominent members of the Jewish community in the Capital, and treasurer of the Adath Jeshurun Congregation”. He also assumed prominent roles in many other Jewish organizations. Louis had a younger brother, John (Jack) Bercovitch Davis, born in Rumania on November 24, 1890. Jack enlisted in the 38th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in July, 1915. After serving in Canada, Bermuda and England, he was discharged in 1919. He died in Ottawa in 1975.
