FERDINAND WEISMANN
Originally published in 1900 |
FERDINAND WEISMANN, eldest son of Adolph William Weismann
and Anna Meyers and a grandson of August Weismann and William Meyers,
was born in West Hoboken, N. J., June 1, 1874. He was educated in
the West Hoboken and Union Hill public and high schools, graduating
from the latter in 1891. In the same year he passed the examination before the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy. Entering his father's drug
store at a very early age, he grew up in the business and acquired a practical
knowledge of every branch, and in 1894 succeeded his father under
the firm name of F. Weismann & Brother, his partner being his oldest
brother, Adolph. This copartnership still continues, with two stores: one
at 166 Bergenline Avenue in the Town of Union and another at 485 Palisade Avenue in West Hoboken. They have been very successful and maintain
an extensive trade. Mr. Weismann is an ardent Democrat, and since 1896 has been Deputy Register of Deaths for Hudson County. He is also a Notary Public, a member and clerk of the Board of Education, and a member of the Junior Order United American Mechanics, of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of the Knights of Pythias, and of the Hamilton Wheelmen. He was married, October 20, 1891, to Tillie Willis Larwill, daughters of John and Matilda Larwill, of Hoboken, N. J. They have two daughters: Edna and Viola Mae.
