first spelled Auerhann, named from a bird which inhabits the Black Forest of Germany, . called the "Capercaillie" or "Auerhann." The family might have taken its name from an ancestor being an unusually successful hunter of this winged denizen of the forest, or it might have become entangled in the family traditions in some other way.

(I) The family home for the last three gen- erations has been in Province of Posen, Prus- sia, Germany, where Grandfather Auerhaim conducted a grain business and also a hotel. He was a staid, sober-minded gentleman, living a simple, pious life, and, with his wife, be- longed to the Synagogue, which received his sincere and hearty support. His racial char- acteristics of industry and thrift have descend- ed to his posterity and this accounts in great measure for their successful business careers. He married and had issue: I.

His boyhood days were spent and his education received in his native village. Leaving school he entered the dry goods business, beginning at the very bot- tom and laying deep, sure and strong the foundation on which he was to erect his future business career. In 1855 he came to the United States, settling in New York City, and engaged in cigar manufacturing until 1864, when he moved to Petroleum Center, establishing there

in the dry goods business. Ile conducted this same line of business in Oil City and Erie, Pennsylvania, coming to Bradford in 1881 and opening a store on Main street. The business of which he was the founder has grown until it now occupies four floors of the New Auer- haim building, which he erected. This build- ing is a fine fireproof structure with modern equipment, including one of Bradford's few elevators. It is a splendid monument to the memory of a sincerely mourned citizen, who through his perseverance, industry and untir- ing zeal, built up a large and substantial busi- ness at a time when the oil craze was the prin- cipal business interest of the section. He was a devoted member of the Reformed Syna- gogue, Temple Beth Zion, and his fraternal or- der was the Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows.
