What Amelia Goldman Has Been Up To

Goldman's store advertisement
This advertisement for the Goldmans' store appeared in the Hobart Gazette of Feb. 14, 1919.

Amelia Goldman probably spent considerable time working beside her husband in the Ainsworth department store. But she also belonged to the Hobart chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, and at the end of January was installed as an officer.

Whatever the duties of an "Esther" may have been, they did not keep Amelia from extensive travel. The "Local Drifts" column of the February 28 Gazette reported: "Mrs. Chas. Goldman of Ainsworth is in New York City for a few weeks, joining business with pleasure. Before returning home, she will visit Washington, D.C., and other leading cities of the east and southeast."
