Moses Polimer

Prominent Hebrew Citizen Dies from Heart Trouble

Moses Polimer, one of the best known and oldest junk dealers of this city, passed away suddenly at his home on Manning street Tuesday afternoon, aged 58 years.

His death was due to heart failure.

Mr. Polimer was a native of Austria and had been a resident of this city for the past twenty-four years. He was the first Hebrew to engage in the junk business in Portsmouth, and was known for his strict honest dealing with the public and his hard work at the business he established here.

Mr. Polimer was a credit to his race and his untimely death brings much sorrow to a large circle of acquaintances and friends wherever he was known.

Besides his wife, he is survived by three sons, Joseph and Max of this city and Simon of Boston, and four daughters, Mrs. Dreller, Miss Frances Polimer, Miss Mabel Polimer of this city and Mrs. Levine of Boston.

His funeral was held this afternoon from his late home at 11:00 and the internment was in the Hebrew cemetery, where funeral services were conducted at the grave by Rabbi Sklar.
