Biography:
ISAAC A. ABRAHAMS, one of the younger generation of business men of Outagamie county, who has already demonstrated his ability to take his place in the front rank of the progressive and successful men of his section of the country, is a native of Russia, where he was born August 22, 1886, a son of Benjamin and Mollie (Jacobs) Abrahams.
Benjamin Abrahams, who was a native of Russia, attended school there until reaching the age of twenty-one years, when he embarked in a mercantile business. In 1888, believing that he could find a better field for his ability in America, he left his native country and in the same year arrived at Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he at once engaged in buying hides and furs. Two years later he had earned enough to send for his wife and two children, Isaac A. and his brother David L., the latter of whom is now a resident of Milwaukee. Mr. Abrahams is still engaged in business in Green Bay, his wife also surviving, and to them have been born the following children in the United States: George, Charles, Peter, Mary, Abraham and Florence, all living at home with their parents.
Isaac A. Abrahams received his early education in the grammar schools, and later he attended the Green Bay Business College. He came to Seymour in 1906 and opened a fur and produce establishment, which won favor from the start, the first year's business amounting to from $75,000 to $100,000. Mr. Abrahams now does a wholesale business all over the United States and Canada, seeking the markets from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the disposal of his products, which consist principally of hides, pelts, furs, wool, cabbage, butter, eggs, etc., and his business during 1910 aggregated from $400,000 to $500,000. He is a stockholder in the Seymour State Bank, and has always supported any movement which he has believed will be of benefit to the city, being at present vice-president of the Seymour Business Men's Association. Fraternally, he is connected with Depere Lodge of Masons No. 85; Seymour Lodge No. 273, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Seymour Camp of the Modern Woodmen of America, and the Furriers' Union. In his political views he is a republican.
In 1907 Mr. Abrahams was married to Ella Kanter, who was born May 15, 1889, in Russia, the daughter of A. Kanter of Gillett, Oconto county, Wisconsin, and to this union there have been born the following children: Celia, Mollie, Tillie, Ena, Harry, Dora, Benjamin, Joseph and David. (The children listed are actually the siblings of Ella Kanter)
