OBITUARIES: Saint John Globe, March 14, 1909 Mr. Isaacs died Sunday at his home 12 Peters Street after a brief illness. He died of heart failure. He was born in London, England. Spent his young manhood in New York. In 1878 came to Saint John and went into manufacturing cigars on Dock Street. The following year he was joined by his brother and they formed a partnership which prospered and is now of the big industries of Saint John. Mr. Isaacs was married in New York to the daughter of the late Solomon Hart. He is survived by two sons, 2 daughters, 4 brothers, Israel, Alfred, Joseph and Emmanuel and two sisters, Mrs. Oscar Silberstein and Mrs. L. Marks. Mr. Isaacs has been the President of the Jewish Congregation since its establishment. In his death the Jewish colony has lost its foremost member and the community a man who filled a very important place in its world. He enjoyed good will and esteem by all who knew him. Typescript supplied by: Archives Department of Canadian History The New Brunswick Museum 277 Douglas Avenue Saint John N.B. Date: May 16, 1972 [The Jewish Times] March 1909 The Late Mr. Abraham Isaacs Saint John N.B. The death of Mr. Abraham Isaacs of the firm of A. & I. Isaacs, cigar manufacturers of Saint John, N.B., which occurred quite suddenly at his residence, 12 Peters Street on Sunday, March 14 last, was a shock and a loss not only to Mr. Isaacs own family, but to the entire business community. The deceased, who had been suffering from heart trouble for some time part, was stricken suddenly ill two weeks previous to his death, and gradually grew weaker until the end. Mr. Isaacs, who was a native of London, England, came to New York when quite a young lad, and began his career as a cigarmaker, learning the trade with his father, who was then engaged in the manufacturing business. Shortly afterwards Mr. Isaacs opened up business for himself in Brooklyn at the corner of Myrtle Avenue. Here he prospered and settled down, marrying a daughter of the late Solomon Hart, of Saint John. In 1878 Mr. Isaacs removed his family to Saint John, and began cigar manufacturing on Dock Street. Then, a year later, he was joined by his brother, Mr. Isaacs, and together they established the firm of A&I. Isaacs. After a few years of active business they found their factory inadequate for their ever growing trade, and were forced to remove to larger quarters on Church Street, where they continued business for some years until three years ago, when they purchased the fine brick building on Princess Street, which the firm now occupies. The firm of A&I Isaacs is one of the oldest established and best known firms in the Maritime Provinces, ranking amongst the largest cigar manufacturers in Canada. Great sympathy had been extended to the members of Mr. Isaacs family, as well as his brother, Mr. I. Isaacs, at his loss of a lifelong partner. The business will still be continued by Mr. I. Isaacs under the [?] name. Gravestone reference code(s): JM 998.61.502.

OBITUARIES: Saint John Globe, August 19, 1924 Israel Isaacs Died This Morning Aged 74 Years-Retired from Business About 7 Years Ago Israel Isaacs, one of Saint John’s pioneer citizens and business men died at 7:50 o’clock this morning, in his 75th year of age, He was born in London, England, on December 1, 1849. At the early age of seven years he emigrated with his parents to the United States, where he remained for 25 years. In 1881 he came to Saint John where he joined his brother, the late Abraham Isaacs, and together they formed the firm of A and I Isaacs, which they developed into one of the largest cigar and cigarette factories in Canada. Mr. Isaacs was forced to retire about seven years ago on account of ill-health. On September 5, 1883, Mr. Isaacs married Caroline Hart, daughter of the late Solomon and Alice Hart of this city. He is survived by his loving wife Caroline; two sisters, Mrs. L. Marks, and Mrs. J. Metzger, both of Brooklyn N.Y.; three daughters, Mrs. Maurice Abrahamson, of Brookline, Mass., and Sylvia and Ruby, at home, and one son, A. Hart, also at home. Mr. Isaacs was generally well liked. He and his brother were very active in the founding of the first Hebrew Synagogue here, and he took a great interest in its development. He was very charitable, especially during the war, but he carried on his good work unostentatiously. In politics he was an independent voter, favouring the man rather than the party. Mr. Isaac’s death took place on the 35th anniversary of the dearth of his father, who also died at the same age, 74 years. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon from his late residence 23 Coburg Street to the Green-Hart Cemetery, Fernhill.

OBITUARIES: Evening Times Globe, January 29, 1940 Israel Ellman Dies In His 61st Year Was Outstanding in Hebrew Social, Educational, Fraternal Community The Hebrew community of Saint John mourns the loss of one of its most highly respected members in the death of Israel Ellman which occurred early Saturday morning at his home, 42 Spring Street. Mr. Ellman had been in poor health for the last few years and since last fall he been confined to his bed. He was 60 years of age. In the Hebrew social, educational and fraternal life in this city, Mr. Ellman was outstanding. He came to North America from Russia about 35 years ago, living in New York for six years before coming to Saint John. Shortly after his arrival here, he founded the Saint John Jewish Immigrant Aid Society and has been president since its inception. At that time when there was considerable immigration, Mr. Ellman devoted considerable of his time and energy towards aiding the port authorities in the handling of the new arrivals to this country. He was national vice president of The Jewish Immigrant Aid Society in Canada. When he came to Saint John there were two synagogues and it was largely through his efforts that an amalgamation was effected and the present Shaarei Zedek on Carleton Street came into being. He was a past president of that synagogue and one of its charter members, and had served for a number of years on its executive. Unusually well versed in the traditions and lore of Judaism, Mr. Ellman was always a prime mover in the educational advancement of Jewish youth and for a number of years he was the chairman of the Hebrew board of education. He championed youth movements, particularly young Judaea, and was an untiring worker for the Hebrew School here. For the past 20 years he was a member of the national council of Zionist Order on Canada. He was a past president of the Zionist Organization in Saint John and a member of the Canadian Jewish Congress Executive. Mr. Ellman also was the founder of the Ezra Lodge, Zionist Order of Habonium, and was a past president. Scholarly Speaker His affiliations with local and Dominion Hebrew Organizations were due to his attainments as a scholarly speaker and great fund of knowledge concerning world Jewish affairs, present and historical. For a number of years, Mr. Ellman was the proprietor of the New York Shoe Store on Main Street. Failing health forced him into retirement. Surviving him are is wife, three sons, Isadore, Amherst; Hymen, corporal in the Saint John Fusiliers, and Maurice, Regimental quartermaster sergeant in the Canadian Army Dental Corps, M.D. No. 7; one daughter, Miss Naomi Ellman; three sisters, Mrs. B. Doctorof and Mrs. L. Katzman of New York, and Mrs. Reva Lipshetz, Mohiliev, Russia; three grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. The funeral was held from his residence, 42 Spring Street, at 3:30 yesterday afternoon to the Synagogue where services were conducted by Rev. A. Babb and Rev. M. Beshkin. Members of Ezra Lodge attended as a body and B. R. Guss, president, spoke briefly on behalf of the Lodge, pallbearers were Lodge members. Interment was in the Hebrew Plot of Fernhill Cemetery.
