- History / Biographical
- David Ain came to Ottawa from the Balkans as a boy, and set up a dry goods store in the town of Elgin, Ontario, before moving to Smiths Falls and starting David Ain's - a dry goods and menswear store. David had a brother named Eli Ain (Eliyohu Ain) who lived in Carleton Place. He never married. David had another brother Mottel Ain (Max Ain?) who lived in Ottawa. Mottel's wife was from Montreal and they had three children together. David married Annie Ain (nee Lauer) from Montreal. They had two children - Kenneth (Ken) Morris Ain and Ruth (married to Val/Welville Lithwick). Kenneth met his wife Judy Leona Ain (nee Judy Wiseman, Judith Wiseman), whose father owned the only other dry goods store in Smiths Falls at the time - A. Wiseman's Men's and Boy's Wear. Judy's father came to Canada as a boy in 1908, also from the Black Sea area. Kenneth left to fight in World War II, but returned in 1944 and bought the store from his father. David Ain opened a smaller store in Brockville but later retired to Montreal where his wife and other relatives were from, where he spent the rest of his life. People for a long time called Kenneth "Davey" after his father. Kenneth died in 1970 and his wife Judy took over running the store for the next five years. Five years to the day of the death of her husband, she sold the store to a man named Jack Clements. Kenneth and Judy had four children - Richard Laurence Ain (married to Maria Flego of Buenos Aires, Argentina); Alan Ain, deceased, (married to Ruth Sylvia Smith of Liverpool, England); Marilyn Esther Ain (married to Peter Almirall - they met in school in Smiths Falls) and me, Susan Janet Ain (married to David Kriger of Ottawa, Ontario).
