Hello,
I'm seeking information on my father, Harold Clayton Ferrin (Jan11,1915-July25,1983), and his ancestors. This is what I have so far - any further information would be greatly appreciated!
According to the Bloom Southwest Jewish archives,
"Terese Marx (26,June1846 - 25,Feb1911) was born in Frankfort, Germany and immigrated to the United States (1874?) with her family. *Terese Marx was working as a milliner in San Francisco, California when she met her future husband, Joseph Ferrin (Born 1834 or 1836 in Prussia. Immigrated to the US in 1868 (approx). Census Records dated between 1870 and 1910 show him as living in Tucson/Pima Co., Az., working as a Tailor. Joseph died October 16,1926).
They were married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph (possibly relatives of the Ferrins) by Rabbi Aaron J. Messing of Congregation Beth Israel, a pioneer orthodox synagogue in the San Francisco Bay area. The newlyweds soon relocated to Tucson.
The Ferrin's had three children within four years. Therese became very prominent in philanthropic work and was well known for her many charities. In 1890, Terese was named president of the Hebrew Ladies Benevolent Association, which was planning to build a synagogue. She was very active in the planning of Temple EmanuEll. In 1910, Terese was present for the laying of the cornerstone of the synagogue on South Stone Avenue, which was the first synagogue in the the Territory of Arizona. Terese was known as "The Angel of Tucson." She often accompanied one of the town's doctors on emergency calls. She apparently was a self-trained holistic practitioner and herbologist. It was said that her remedies never failed."
* According to 1910 Census, they were married approx. 1879. Also, according to Census Records, Joseph had already been living in Tucson (1870 Census) when they met.
Their son, Arthur (9/2/1884-10/22/1985), married (Jenny?) Della Owens (9/18/1892-1/22/1917). They had one son (my father), Harold Clayton Ferrin (1/11/1915-7/25/1983).
Following the death of his first wife, Arthur married Juliet Miller. They moved to NJ (Atlantic City area), and had two daughters, Janet and Helene.
Any information you might have would be greatly appreciated!
Warm regards,
Martha Ferrin-Andrews
