• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: As a young man, Louis Leo Schweinberg worked for his grandmother's nephew, Lou Holtzman, who owned a store in Braddock. In 1900, L. L. Schweinberg (25) rented a house at 137 Mills St. in Braddock, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania where he lived with his wife of three years, Minnie (25) and their children L. Paul (4) and M. Mildred (2). Leo worked as a grocery clerk. Louis' brother William lived two doors down. In 1910, 35 year old Louis Schweinberg lived with his wife of 13 years, Philomena, in a home they rented at 605 4th Street in Braddock, Allegheny co., Pennsylvania. Living with them were their children Paul (12), Mildred (11), Bernadette (8), Catherine (3), and Regis (1 yr 2 mos). The 3 older children attended school. Louis worked as a "butter and egg" saleman. Louis was born in Pennsylvania, his father in France and his mother in New York. Philomena was born in Ohio as was her father. Philomena's mother and all of the children were born in Pennsylvania. Louis and Minnie moved from Braddock to Swissvale, where they owned a food, dairy, and poultry business. Louis was known for the admonition "Keep your chin up!" Grandson Robert Leo Dugan remembers being sent to visit his Grandpa Schweinberg during the summers as a child. Grandpa S. was very gentlemanly; well read though lacking in formal education. Records conflict on date of death: Sister Eugenia gives 8 Aug 1962. Louis' daughter Beatrice Schweinberg Hough has a note in the margin of her manuscript giving date of death as 6 Aug 1962. The Social Security Death Index only lists August 1962.
