Intermountain Jewish news., 1926-08-12

staunch old members, B. W. Weisbart
and Louis Anfenger, received power
full aid by the coming to Denver of
two pioneers who originally had set
tied in other Colorado towns-Meyer
Friedman and Henry Frankie. 1t is
notable that Meyer Friedman was
made vice president of Denver Lodge
within two months after his arrival
in the city, and the next term was at
the helm of the organization. Mr..
Frankie was not far behind. These
gentlemen injected an aggressive spirit
into the lodge which gained for it
new prestige as well as new members.
From this time on, also, begins the
slow process of making the B'nai
Birth in Denver representative of all
elements of the Jewish community.
To the quartet just mentioned must
an outstanding name in the history
of pioneer Colorado Jewry as well as
Denver Lodge. Mr.. Silver served a
number of terms as president of the
early lodge, and gave it standing at
the district grand lodge gatherings.
J Incidentally, Mr.. Silver was a we'll
known figure in Denver generally;
he served successfully in the capaci-
ties of director of the mint, editor on
the staff of the Denver Tribune, and
representative in the state legisla-
ture.
Closely affiliated with the history of
Denver Lodge membership, yet indie
pendent of it, was the practice of
charity among Denver's leading Jews.
Except for the Ladies' Relief, charita-
BILE endeavor was unorganized, and
depended upon the initiative of well
disposed individuals. Of these there
was no shortage.
There were no tubercular sanitoria
in those days, and each case had to
Intermountain Jewish news., 1926-08-12

The early efforts to keep up the Or
ganiZation seem to have encountered
difficulty. Several meetings in the lat
ter part of 1872 could not be held for
want of quorum. In June 1873,
when eleven of the outstanding mem.
bers met to consider ways and means,
one of the number moved that the
charter Of the lodge be returned to
the Grand Lodge; the motion was de.
feated by vote of five to six-thus
precarious was the continued existence
of the lodge. But the leaders stuck it
out, and the record of Denver Lodge
has continued without break.
The temper of the lodge is mirrored
in one of its early practices-that of
the visiting list to the sick. There was
no visiting committee, but for each
day of the week member was as
signed to sick-visit duty; and the
practice continued for number of
years. There is record in 1875 Of
a member being fined the sum of $3.50
for failure to do his duty in visiting
bereaved home.
By the time the early Eighties rolled
around, there were few orthodox
Jews in the Denver community. But
they do not appear to have had part
in the early B'nai Birth, as atttested
by an entry which appears in the
minutes of the meeting at which the
celebration of the hundredth anniver-
sary, of the birth of Sir Moses Mon
tefiore occurred. 1t seems that B'nai
Birth had invited the other Jewish
organizations Of the city to partici-
pate in the Montefore centennial. One
member discovered that the little or
thodox Minyan had not been informed,
and moved that the orthodox congre-
cation be forthwith informed. The
motion failed to pass. That the then
secretary, Mr.. Louis Anfenger, was
grieved by the action of the lodge
would appear from the fact that in

l.. o. II. u. Ill Organized

Perhaps the earliest tangible ex-
preston of the blossoming of COM
munity spirit among the Jewish pio-
neers of Colorado was the petition of
n group of Denver Jews for a charter
from the Grand Lodge of the Bnai
Birth in 1872. The meeting institut-
ing the lodge as Denver Lodge No.
Ill was held in hall owned by B. F.
Clark on Larimer street, on April 9th,
1872. The petitioners present at this
first B'nai Birth meeting held in Dem
yer, including the first officers elected,
were as follows:
David Kline, president.
F. z. Salomon, vice president.
Louis Anfenger, secretary.
Phil Tronstine, treasurer.
A. NJ. Appel, monitor.
David Mitchell, asst. monitor.
Simon l.. Wells, warden.
Simon Hexter, julius Londoner, H.
z. Salomon, trustees.
Samuel Rose, H. z. Solomon, H.
Schayer, A. NJ. Appel, NJ. Abrams,
Bernhard Berry, Isidor Deitch, John
Elsner, NJ. Hattenbach, Edward Pisco.
Along with these were four petit
TONERS who did not appeal for the
charter meeting, but might be con.
sidered as members of the charter
group: Chas. NJ. Schayer, A. z. Solo
mon, A. H. Fleischer, DR.. S. A. Cole,
and Phil Gottheimer.
Practically every member of this
charter group took prominent part in
B'nai Birth affairs during the ensuing
years, going through the various
chairs and giving tone to the order as
the center of Denver Jewish life at
the time.

monished that when one is i'll and sich
at heart, he should be sustained with
wine to tighten the burden. The next
day the patient received case Of
wine from his visitor Of the day be-
fore.
Efforts to establish n Jewish hospi-
tai were made decade before the
National Jewish Hospital actually
came into existence. Mr.. Frankie laid
the foundation for the National jew
ish Hospital by his efforts along this
line. The realization of local Jewish
hospital for Denver came much later,
when through the generosity Of L. H.
Guldman, who donated $4,000 for the
purpose. the Beth Israel Hospital as
it now stands became a reality.
In the Pioneer Business Section
The early business district Of Den
yer was bounded by Arapahoe on one
side, by the siver and creek on the
other. Within this area the shops of
the Jewish merchants were much in
evidence. Some of them lived over or
in back of their stores, while the more
prosperous Jewish merchants had resi-
dences on or near upper Champa st.
Perhaps the only store which re-
mains on the same site under the same
auspices today as in pioneer days is
the Golden Eagle on Sixteenth and
Lawrence. Leopold II. Guldman, ar
irving here from Watertown in 1877,
a young man of about twenty-six,
opened his first store that year on a
twenty-five foot front, as Denver's
"underselling cash store" He married
several years later, raised his family
in Denver, and as the head of the
present Golden Eagle, which was built
in 1906, has the distinction of being
the only surviving pioneer merchant,
still retaining an active interest in
his business, which he started in a
modest way forty-nine years ago.
Leading Je,oish Establishments
The most prominent Jewish estab-
lishment of Denver's pioneer days was
the "swell' grocery conducted on 18th
and Blake streets by Wolfe Londoner.
Here the elite of Denver made their
food purchases. Londoner's name
stands out especially as that of the
only Jewish mayor Denver has had
storm center of Colorado politics
in the early eighties, for whom staunch
| friends battled bitter foes.
Intermountain Jewish news., 1926-08-12

Many can still remember "The
"Fair," typical old-timer general
store, owned by Ed Monash. Probably
the largest of the Jewish. dry goods
establishments of the time was that
of Frankie and Butler, who, coming
from Leadville, built up substantial
wholesale dry goods and shoe house.
Over the store of A. z. Solomon,
at the Hotel Ayres, stood landmark
sign-"We Do AS We Advertise"
Numerous other well known pioneer
establishments, deserveing attention
here, will be discussed in the next and
