Call No. MS FM MSS 117
2 linear feet
Elizabeth Ramenofsky was born in Globe, AZ in 1908. Her father,
Max Lantin, was a merchant who came west from New Haven, CT, went
to Jerome, AZ and then finally settled in Globe, AZ. Elizabeth’s
grandfather, I.E. (Isadore Elkan) Solomon settled the town of Solomonville,
AZ. The town’s name was later changed to Solomon. Later in
life, she developed an interest for writing and research, and began
investigating the history of the Solomon family.
The collection contains research
notes and photographs on the Arizona pioneer families of Solomon,
Lantin, Lesinsky, and Freudenthal. This collection also has materials
about the town of Solomonville, AZ, Gila Valley Bank, a forerunner
to Valley National Bank, and other topics on Arizona and southwestern
history. These files were most likely used for Ramenofsky’s
book entitled From Charcoal to Banking: The I.E. Solomons of Arizona.
Of interest in this collection is the Jewish migration experience
to Arizona and the Southwest and the founding of Solomonville, AZ.
Photographs in Series II date back to the late 1880’s which
include photographs of Globe, AZ, various buildings in Solomonville,
AZ and images of family members. Finding
