History / Biographical: Founded by Boruch (Benjamin) Applebaum prior to 1930, B. Appelbaum & Son was a tinsmith and sheet metal business located at 306 Murray Street, Ottawa. The business specialized in making garbage cans with corrugated sides, stove pipes, and furnace metals. The business was family run, at times employing Boruch’s brother Pinhey (Pinchus) Applebaum as well as Boruch’s daughters who worked in the office, including daughter Ann who is remembered as having good business sense. The Applebaums lived in an apartment above the business which was a very noisy arrangement. Boruch’s son Harold Applebaum eventually became a partner and inherited the business. Harold Applebaum married Goldie Reva Bodovsky. Overtime the business declined due to new technologies in metal work and manufacturing. Boruch Applebaum’s parents were immigrants to Ottawa. Moses Applebaum was a junk dealer, carpenter and shamus at Machzikei Hadas Synagogue, 259 Murray Street. He and his wife Edith (Baker) Applebaum had five children: Jacob Gershon Applebaum, Boruch Applebaum, Rachel Baker, Pinchus Applebaum and Motel Applebaum. Jacob Gershon Applebaum married Rebecca Rubenstein on September 3, 1911. They had five children: Harold (Harry), Norman Michael (Applebaum) Appleton, Sydney Herbert (Applebaum) Appleton, Eva Ruth (Applebaum) Wexler (b. Ottawa 1912), and Beatrice Joyce (Applebaum) Rodman. Pinchus Applebaum married Fay Azaroff in 1926 or 1927. They had three daughters: Dorothy (Applebaum) Hymes, Ethel (Applebaum) Eptstein, and Mildred. Fay Azaroff was a Ukrainian orphan rescued by Lillian Freiman’s group. After the war, some of the Applebaum family members changed their names to Appleton when they relocated elsewhere.
