Historical Note

Louise Marshall, founder of the Cabbage Patch Settlement House, was born in Louisville in 1888. Louise and her family resided in the Old Louisville neighborhood and attended Second Street Presbyterian church. As a teenager, Louise began teaching and working with neighborhood boys; her friends also volunteered, and a program was opened for girls as well. They had a story hour, a mother’s club, and a sewing school – all in one room.

In 1910, Louise established a settlement house with the help of her community, church, and family. With a loan from her father, Louise purchased a lot on Ninth Street near Burnett. In October 1910, the facility became a not-for-profit corporation with the name Cabbage Patch Settlement House (CPSH). Named for the Louisville neighborhood where it was originally established, the Cabbage Patch was formed “in the spirit of Christian Love” as a safe place for neighborhood children to play, grow, and learn.

The Cabbage Patch neighborhood was located along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, south of Broadway. During the Civil War era, railroads penetrated the farmland and industrial development began, creating a rural-industrial combination of truck gardens and shop workers living around them. Following the creation of the affluent areas of St. James and Belgravia Courts after the Southern Exposition of the 1880s, wealth inequality typified the neighborhood.

The Cabbage Patch at 1461 S. Ninth Street offered services such as a library, Bible study, a well-baby clinic, a nursery, and a gymnasium. In 1929, the CPSH moved to its current location at 1413 S. Sixth Street. In the 1950s, the CPSH began to allow African American children to participate in its recreational activities. Marshall remained involved with the Cabbage Patch until her death in 1981.

Materials include his Liberty Special savings account bookfinancial and legal records, correspondence among family members, and documentation of his donation to the Louisville Hebrew School.

 

Historical Note

Myer Berman (1866-1935) came to the United States from Poland in 1886 and eventually settled in Louisville, where he peddled goods to rural families in Shelby County. In the late 1880s, he married Esther Shpindler (1868-1944), who also had immigrated from Poland. He opened his first store on Market Street near Preston, at the center of Louisville’s Russian and Eastern European Jewish community.  

Myer Berman & Sons was legally incorporated in 1928 and located on West Market Street between 2nd and 3rd, but a store by that name and at that address first appears in the Louisville city directory in 1923. All six of the Berman sons worked at the store during its existence and in 1931, the store’s name was changed to Myer Berman’s Sons. Ten years later, Hyman and Isaac Berman—the only stockholders of Myer Berman’s Sons in 1941—signed documents giving their consent to close the business. It appears that the store either remained opened or later reopened. Louisville city directories in 1946 and 1949 list Myer Berman’s Sons next to the names of Hyman and Isaac Berman and, in 1952, identify it as a men’s clothing store at 245 West Jefferson.

Historical Note

Jewish Family and Vocational Service (JFVS) grew out of Jewish agencies established in Louisville in the first half of the twentieth century. In 1908, local Jewish leaders and organizations formed the Federation of Jewish Charities to assist Eastern European Jewish immigrants who settled in Louisville. Its name changed to the Jewish Welfare Federation (JWF) in 1918 and became the Jewish Social Service Agency in 1951.

In 1943, the Jewish Vocational Service (JVS) was established in Louisville to provide educational and vocational guidance to Jewish youth. It grew out of a committee formed in 1938 representing the JWF, the Louisville section of the National Council of Jewish Women, and the Young Men’s Hebrew Association (YMHA). The committee was concerned with the lack of school and career guidance for young people and with the anti-Semitism faced by Jewish students. Louisville became the smallest Jewish community in the country with a professionally staffed vocational service, which served not just Jewish youth but also adults, veterans, immigrants, and non-Jewish residents.

In 1978, the JSSA and the JVS joined to create the Jewish Family and Vocational Service and moved to the newly opened Shalom Tower on Dutchmans Lane, next door to the Jewish Community Center. The organization has provided educational, testing, career, counseling, and family services, helped to resettle refugees, and sponsored programs for older adults. The Louis & Lee Roth Family Center opened in 2000, providing more spacious facilities for JFVS and its programs. In 2008, the organization’s name was changed to Jewish Family and Career Services.

Ades-Goldin Family Papers, 1888-2013

Held by the Filson Historical Society

Creator: Ades-Goldin Family

Title: Papers, 1888-2013.

Rights: For information regarding literary and copyright interest for these papers, contact the Curator of Collections.

Size of Collection: 4 cubic feet and 1 oversized folder

Location Number: Mss. A A232

Scope and Content Note
The collection consists of papers of two Jewish families, the Ades and Goldin families of Louisville, Kentucky, from 1888-2013. The bulk of the collection consists of several series of correspondence from the 1920s-1950s, documenting the personal relationships of family members, their everyday activities and concerns, their Jewish beliefs and practices, and political events. Other materials from 1888-2013 include legal and financial documents, newspaper clippings, programs, and invitations. Some items are in Yiddish and Hebrew.

Folders 1-7 contain various papers and financial records of Moses William Ades (1882-1959) and Sarah Belle Grad Ades (1896-1951). Included are the 1888 naturalization papers of Moses’s father Louis Ades; Moses’s Masons certificates and World War I registration card; Moses’s annual financial records from 1920-1949; documents relating to Moses’s and Sarah Belle’s ownership of Russian and Israeli foreign bonds; materials about the Pittsburgh Fuel Company, where Moses worked as an executive; and a 1922 Young Men’s Hebrew Association (YMHA) program and a 1959 Louisville Orchestra program. Also of note are Moses’s will and obituary from 1959 and correspondence to Moses’s daughter Anita expressing condolences.

Folders 8-45 consist primarily of correspondence between Moses and Sarah Belle Ades from 1923-1942, but also include letters from family and friends. Letters cover Moses and Sarah Belle’s courtship beginning in August 1923, when Moses lived in Louisville and Sarah Belle in Cincinnati, leading up to their wedding on January 29, 1924. Folder 17 contains two photographs of Sarah Belle and Moses that were enclosed with a letter from November 2, 1923. Subsequent letters cover the short periods when Sarah Belle traveled back to Cincinnati to help care for her sick mother Hannah Grad or one of her sisters, or when Moses traveled on business. Moses writes about members of the Louisville Jewish community, Zionist meetings, and his coal company work. Sarah Belle writes of her job before marriage and about her friends and family members in Cincinnati. In the summer of 1928, Sarah Belle notes telling people that she is pregnant; Sarah Belle and Moses’s daughter Anita was born in November. Sarah Belle writes letters in 1941 from the Martinsville Sanitarium Mineral Springs in Indiana, expressing her surprise to find “many Jewish people from Louisville” there.

Folders 46-52 consist primary of correspondence between Anita Ades and her parents Sarah Belle and Moses while Anita was a camper at Camp Tall Trees during the summers of 1939-1942 and a counselor during the summers of 1945-1946. Camp Tall Trees was built in 1939 when the YMHA leased land at Otter Creek Park in Meade County, Kentucky. Letters include discussions about Anita’s camp activities and relationships with other campers and counselors, Sarah Belle’s updates on Louisville, and references to polio epidemics, food costs during World War II, Jewish services at the camp, and Anita’s health and weight. Many letters are undated or have circa dates.

Folders 53-145 hold correspondence between Anita and her mother Sarah Belle while Anita was a student at Cornell University from October 1946-February 1950, with some letters from Moses and other family members and friends. Anita updates her mother about her classes, her Home Economics major, her social and dating life, and her involvement with the Jewish sorority Alpha Epsilon Phi. Letters document her relationship with Johnny Efroysom, a Cornell student from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and how they continued to date other people. Anita writes of going to the Cornell Hillel, teaching Sunday school, playing ping pong, and participating in speech competitions. Sarah Belle’s letters provide information about her activities in Louisville, such as shopping and attending Hadassah meetings, and about her relationships with members of her family and the Jewish community in Louisville and Cincinnati. She frequently dispenses advice to Anita about her schoolwork, her relationships, her physical and emotional health, and her future choices about career and marriage. Anita and Sarah Belle both comment on political issues of the time, such as Zionism, anti-Semitism, communism, and civil rights.

Folder 146 contains correspondence to Sarah Belle Ades from family members and friends during the years 1947-1949 and includes some undated letters.

Folders 147-189 consist of correspondence from Dr. Albert (Al) Goldin to Anita following their marriage in 1950, mostly covering the years 1952-1953 when Al served in the United States Army as a physician and captain during the Korean War.

The rest of the letters are from his time with the Army at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas; Camp Stoneman in Pittsburgh, California; a military hospital near Pusan, South Korea; and a military hospital in Sapporo, Japan. Al writes about his fellow soldiers, recreational activities, the people and sights in South Korea, Jewish services and holidays, and his supervision of Korean physicians treating Korean and Chinese prisoners of war at the hospital. Although the collection does not include Anita’s letters to Al, Al’s letters contain his responses to Anita’s updates about their daughter Sara Joyce and Louisville news.

Folders 190-197 consist of letters written from Anita Ades Goldin to her father Moses from July-November 1953, when she and Sara Joyce traveled to Japan to live with Al during his assignments in Sapporo, Kokura, and Nara.

Two folders contain various papers of Anita and Albert, including their 1950 wedding announcement and marriage certificate; Eliahu Academy materials from 1957-1966; a 1969 University of Louisville commencement program for Anita’s master’s in social work; and materials related to Anita’s 2006 Jewish Community Federation Award.

Brandeis.

Biographical Note
Moses William Ades (1882-1959) was the son of Louis and Mary S. (Monfried) Ades. Moses and his parents immigrated from Lithuania to the Unites States by 1888. In Louisville, Moses became a member of Congregation Adath Jeshurun and of the Preston Masonic Lodge and the Scottish Rite. He helped to establish the local chapter of the Zionist Organization of America. He spent most of his adult career in management and leadership positions with the Pittsburgh Coal Company, which by the mid-1920s was called the Pittsburgh Fuel Company.

Sarah Belle Grad (1892-1951) was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants Hanna and Julius Grad. She married Moses Ades in 1924 and their daughter Anita was born in Louisville in 1928. Anita graduated from Cornell University with a degree in home economics in 1950 and married Albert Goldin later that year. She received a master’s degree in sociology at the University of Louisville and was a lecturer in the department for several years. She received a second master’s degree in social work from the University of Louisville in 1969 and worked settling Soviet Jewish immigrants in Louisville.

Albert Goldin was born in 1923 in Lima, Ohio. His father, Harry (Nechemia) Goldin, was from Gomel, Belarus, and married Leah from Babruysk, Belarus. Harry came to America in 1914 to earn money to bring over Leah and their two children, but the First World War broke out, followed by the Russian Revolution, so Leah came with the children years later. Albert was the first child born in America. Albert received his medical degree from the University of Louisville in 1946, and served in the Army as a physician and captain during the Korean War. He practiced Internal Medicine and non-invasive Cardiology in Louisville. Anita and Albert had two children, Sara Joyce (married and divorced Abraham Palgy of Kibbutz Sarid, Israel; Mark Nissan is their child) and Harry (married Jane Kaplan of Chicago; Elise and Jacob are their children).

Biographical Note

Robert “Bob” Milton Hance was born January 6, 1918 to Milton Lee and Inda Darneille Hance, the youngest of ten children and the only living son. He grew up on the family farm near Jackson’s Landing, Gallatin County, Kentucky. His mother died of cancer when he was 12.  In 1937 during the Great Depression, his father committed suicide due to the eminent loss of the farm. After his father’s death, Bob lived briefly with a sister, Lucille Farmer, in Louisville.

In July 1942, at age twenty-four, he enlisted as a private into the Army at Fort Benjamin Harrison. He served as a field artilleryman and forward observer with the 224th Field Artillery, 29th Infantry Division, which experienced heavy casualties at Normandy. On D-Day, he was dropped behind enemy lines to direct artillery fire. During his time overseas, he frequently corresponded with two of his sisters: Lucille Hance Farmer and Doris Octavia Hance Vaught. He was discharged on September 19, 1945, having attained the rank of sergeant.  He was awarded the Bronze Star for his service.

After returning home from the war, Bob worked for a short time as a surveyor and for the U.S. Postal Service.  Both jobs were short-lived because of his struggles with alcoholism and PTSD. In 1969, Bob married a woman named Elizabeth K. Phillips, with whom he had one son, Robert Hance. He died on March 15, 1988 at his Dosker Manor apartment in Louisville.  He is buried in Warsaw Cemetery.
