PRESS, Harry Joseph,
Merchant Tailor.
Long known among the business men of Middletown, Harry J. Press, the sub- ject of this sketch, has diligently pursued a worthy occupation, and has earned an honorable place in the social and business life of the community. His grandfather, Maurice Press, was a tailor in Danneborg, Russia, the name of which has been changed to Dwinsk,-for the same reason that St. Petersburg was changed to Petro- grad-because the old name savored too much of German origin. Maurice Press was a tall, fine-looking man, the father of Isaac Press, who was a tailor in Danne- borg, where he died in 1889. His wife, Pauline, followed her sons to America, and died in New Haven, Connecticut.
Harry Joseph Press, son of Isaac and Pauline Press, was born March 15, 1868, in Danneborg, where he continued to re- side until he became of age. He learned the trade of his father and so applied him- self that he was enabled to set out for

America, the land of freedom, as soon as he was of age. He had friends in New Haven, so made his way to Liverpool, England, whence he sailed, arriving in New York, March 2, 1889, arriving the next day in New Haven, where he con- tinued to reside for ten years. In the year succeeding his arrival, he sent for two younger brothers, and soon after for his mother, who spent her last years in com- fort in New Haven, where she died at the age of seventy-three years. After a few years' work on the bench, Mr. Press engaged in business on his own account in New Haven in 1897, and two years later removed to Middletown. His first place of business was in the McDonough block, where he continued for two and a half years, removing thence to the east side of the street. Since 1912 he has been located at his present place, No. 230 Main street. Here his business has developed and he now carries a large stock of wool- ens with trimmings, furnishings and ac- cessories, and is doing a very prosperous business. For one year after coming to Middletown, his younger brother, Max Press, was a partner, but since March, 1900, he has conducted an independ- ent business. Mr. Press is the owner of considerable real estate and is worthy of the prosperity which has blessed his ef- forts. He is of genial nature and his af- fable manners have drawn about him many friends. He is a member of the Congregation Adath Israel of the Jewish church, and of Middletown Lodge, No. 771, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, also of the Hebrew Society B'nai B'rith, of which he is a trustee. A Re- publican in principle he endeavors to sup- port the best government, but has no time for political activities.
Mr. Press married, March 16, 1897, Bes- sie Kramer, who was born in Galicia, Austria, daughter of Michael and Alice
(Greenberg) Kramer. Mr. and Mrs Press were the parents of five children : Isidore Maurice, born March 25, 1900, is a clerk in his father's store ; Harriet, born October 31, 1902, resides at home ; David, born July 11, 1905, is a junior in the Mid- dletown High School ; Beatrice, born July II, 1913; Antoinette, twin of Beatrice, was killed by a trolley car in Middletown at the age of four years.
PRESS, Max,
Tailor, Clothier.
A son of Isaac and Pauline Press, men- tioned in preceding sketch, Max Press was born August 15, 1876, in Dwinsk Latvia, Russia, a twin brother of Ben- jamin Press, now a resident of Middle- town. There he attended school until fourteen years old, when he came with his twin brother to America and joined Harry J. Press at New Haven. The eld- est son of Isaac Press, Maurice, born about 1862, is still in Dwinsk, where he suffered all the horrors of the late World War, and would have perished but for the aid of his American relatives. His only son, Jack Press, entered the Russian army during the government of the Czar, fought with the allies against Germany, was taken and kept in a German prison, and remained lost to all his relatives for seven years. He escaped, reached France and finally came to this country, and is now employed by his uncle, Max Press.
On coming to America, Max Press at once became an apprentice to his elder brother in New Haven, and became a skilled tailor. In the meantime he at- tended night school and became familiar with the use of the English language, thus qualifying for a business career. In 1896 he settled in Middletown, and opened a tailor shop on Church street, December 8, of that year. Here he built up a hand-

some trade, and was joined by his elder brother, Harry J. Press, in 1900. For one year they conducted business in partner- ship and then dissolved, and Max Press moved to the location which he now occu- pies, 201 Main street, in what was then known as the Universalist Church build- ing. In time he changed to the north store on the same block and, in 1921, occu- pied both stores. His business has been several times extended, and he now car- ries a stock of ready-to-wear clothing, be- sides furnishings and shoes. His uniform courtesy, good nature and effort to sat- isfy his patrons have made him popular and he enjoys the good will and custom of many people, not only in Middletown, but in the surrounding section. Within a few years the volume of his business has doubled, and his stock of goods is steadily increasing, embracing trunks umbrellas, jewelry and sporting goods.
Mr. Press is identified with many fra- ternal and benevolent bodies. He is a member of the Congregation Adath Israel, and of the Zionist organization to pro- mote the occupation of Palestine by the Jews ; of B'nai B'rith, and is president of the local branch, Independent Order B'rith Scholom, an insurance organiza- tion with headquarters in Philadelphia. He is a member of Schiller Lodge, No. 92 Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Sow- heag Encampment, No. 6, same order į Arawana Tribe, No. 17, Improved Order of Red Men; Middlesex Aerie, No. 681, Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which he was one year vice-president; Middle- sex Lodge, No. 1547, Loyal Order of Moose; Middletown Lodge, No. 771, Be- nevolent and Protective Order of Elks; Apollo Lodge, No. 33, Knights of Pythias ; S. M. Bacon Company, No. 7, Uniformed Rank, same order; and with his wife is affiliated with Apollo Temple, women's auxiliary of the Knights of Pythias. He
is a member of the Young Men's Chris- tian Association and the Middletown Chamber of Commerce. Politically a Re- publican, he has made no effort to occupy official positions.
Mr. Press married, December 4, 1900, Mamie Kabatznick, who was born in Bal- tamanch, Kovenor, Russia, daughter of Abraham and Sadie (Alpert) Kabatznick of that place. Mr. and Mrs. Press are the parents of the following children: Sadie Josephine, born May 5, 1903; Isidor Maurice, born June 10, 1906; Ester Katy, born November 25, 1907; Pauline, born July 8, 1914; and Arthur, born December 8, 1920.
ARRIGONI, Frank,
Business Man, Public Official.
Indomitable pluck and sheer force of will have made possible the rise of Frank Arrigoni to the enviable position he holds to-day among the leading business men of his city. He was born July 6, 1873, in Vendrogne, Province Como, Italy, the son of Carl and Mary (Malugani) Arrigoni. His education was a broad one; the native schools of his home city supplied the ele- mentary part, and he prepared for en- trance to Giglio College, from which he was graduated in 1892. Ambitious to a high degree, Mr. Arrigoni felt his chances would be greater in America, and with this thought in mind, he left his native shores soon after his graduation. At- tracted to Connecticut, he settled first at North Branford, this State, where he se- cured work as a charcoal burner. Then there were three years spent on a farm, during all of which time Mr. Arrigoni kept his mind alert and open to the opportu- nity which he felt would come. He re- moved to Durham, Connecticut, and se- cured work with a road building concern. Immediately he felt that he had succeeded
412
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
in finding the work suitable to him, and he applied himself to the mastering of all the details of that business. It was not long before he was in a position to branch out for himself in a small way, it is true, but nevertheless it was his start. Bionigi Arrigoni, his younger brother, had also come to America, and the two young men entered partnership. By earnest and per- sistent endeavor they forged their way ahead. They secured contracts to build- state roads in Connecticut, which are in themselves sufficient testimonials of their ability. Mr. Arrigoni was one of the first progressive road builders to realize the possibilities in branching out, and he was awarded several contracts from the State of New York. He has also engaged in other forms of contracting; in 1908 built the Rogers & Hubbard Plant at Portland, Connecticut, and a little later built the hotel in Middletown, which bears his name, "The Arrigoni." In 1914 he founded the Arrigoni Coal Company, which maintains a large yard on the river bank, and does a large wholesale and re- tail business throughout the State. Mr Arrigoni is president of this company.
As would be naturally expected of a man of Mr. Arrigoni's caliber, it was not long before he became identified with public interests. It is such men as he who achieve their success by dint of their own labor, who make the best public of- ficials. His constituents were quick to realize this fact, and in 1909 Mr. Arrigoni was the choice of his party, the Republi- can, to represent them in the State Legis- lature. So well did he fulfill the duties in- cumbent on this office that he was re- elected in 1911 for another term of two years. During both terms he was a mem- ber of the important committee on rail- roads. For several years he has served as chairman of the Republican Town Committee, and as a member of the Board
of Selectmen. Mr. Arrigoni's fraternal affiliations are with Lodge No. 771, Be- nevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of Middletown, of which he is a life mem- ber; Apollo Lodge, No. 33, Knights of Pythias ; and Arawana Tribe, No. 17, Im- proved Order of Red Men.
He married, October 28, 1899, Marina Malacarne, and they are the parents of two sons: I. Lino Clarence, who gradu- ated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1921; he served in the army as a member of this student body. 2. Franklin W., attends the Middletown schools. With his family, Mr. Arrigoni is a regular attendant of St. John's Roman Catholic Church of Middletown. Mr. Arrigoni has achieved much in the com- paratively short time he has been a resi- dent of Connecticut. Few men have so nearly realized their aims.
HUBBARD, Elijah Kent (3), Financier.
Following faithfully the tenets and tra- ditions of his tribe and times, Mr. Hub- bard renders useful service to the State as president of its Manufacturers' Associa- tion, in various official activities desig- nated by the governor, and otherwise. Practically all his time is given to service for the public, and he is well known by all the leading men of the commonwealth. A descendant of one of the pioneer fami- lies of Middletown, by intermarriages through the generations, he inherits the blood of many leading New England families.

In May, 1777, he was appointed com- missary and superintendent of stores for the Connecticut Revolutionary troops. He was a merchant, engaged in the West Indies trade, and in banking, and left an estate valued at $144,971.91. He married, January 5, 1772, Hannah Kent, born March 7, 1746, in Middletown, died De- cember 9, 1778, daughter of John and Abigail (Dickenson) Kent.

(VII) Elijah Kent (1) Hubbard, eldest child of Elijah (2) and Lydia (Mather) Hubbard, was born October 18, 1812, in Middletown, and was among the pioneer settlers of Chicago, Illinois, contributing in no small degree to its wonderful devel- opment, as well as that of the adjacent regions. Having faith in the Golden West, he secured the charter of the Chi- cago & Galena Union railway, the first line leading west from his home city, and was active in its construction. This now forms a part of the immense Chicago & Northwestern system. Mr. Hubbard lived to see his vision of the future growth amply justified, though his useful career was cut off in his twenty-seventh year, May 26, 1839. Beside his own cap- ital, he handled that of others in the East, and gained at once the confidence of Chi- cago men by his shrewdness and fore- sight. He married September 15, 1834,

Elizabeth Sebor DeKoven, born Novem- ber 28, 1813, in Middletown, daughter of Henry and Margaret (Sebor) DeKoven. Five years after the death of Mr. Hubbard she married Thomas Dyer, a former mayor of Chicago and a well known citi- zen of Illinois. She died June 3, 1896, at the home of her son in Middletown. Her second son, Louis DeKoven Hubbard, was major of the Third Illinois Cavalry during the Civil War, and died April 15, 1866, in Paris, France.
(VIII) Elijah Kent (2) Hubbard, eldest child of Elijah K. (1) and Elizabeth S. (DeKoven) Hubbard, was born July 12, 1835, in Chicago, Illinois, and was long identified with business affairs of that city, where he was greatly esteemed as a citizen. His boyhood was passed in Mid- dletown, and for two years he was a stu- dent at the famous school of Daniel H. Chase. At the age of eighteen years he entered the office of the Russell Manufac- turing Company of Middletown, and, at the age of twenty years, went to Chicago, where he was active in business for a period of thirty years. He dealt in coal, grain and lumber, adding to his inherit- ance by sound business dealing and atten- tion to his affairs. At the time of his return to Middletown, in 1885, he was the oldest living native of Chicago. In 1891 he became president of the Russell Manu- facturing Company, where he began his business career in a humble capacity, and in 1892 was a presidential elector from Connecticut. He was well known in New York, and it was said of him: "He knew the textile business as few men in America knew it. He found a substantial textile industry in Middletown; he made it a nationally great one by his energy, his industry and his knowledge of how to buy the raw material." It was also said of him that "with all his business keenness, he had the fine inner character
of the superlative gentleman." Mr. Hub- bard was a member of the Chicago His- torical Society, and delighted in frequent visits to his native place. In 1903 he was present at the celebration of the Centen- nial of Fort Dearborn, where he met old friends. In Middletown he strove to sus- tain the most uplifting influences. He was president of the Middletown National Bank, a trustee of the Connecticut Hospi- tal, and president of the Russell Library. Like all his family, he was identified with the Episcopal church. He died June 6, 1915, in Middletown. He married (first), October 4, 1864, Anna Jones Dyer, daugh- ter of Governor Elisha Dyer, of Rhode Island (see Dyer line).

In the same year he began his business career in the office of the Russell Manufacturing Company, Middletown, where he continued twenty years. In 1912 he was elected treasurer of the company, but resigned next year to take the presidency of the Maxim Silencer
415
