Goldfus in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota 1930

On the 1930 Federal census in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota I found Hiram Goldfus age 68 from Lithuania. His wife, also from Lithuania was Sarah age 54. Their daughter Jeannett age 20 was working as a steno in a garment shop while 17 year old Sam was an errand boy in a radio shop. Ethel, 15, was not working nor were the parents. They lived at 1131 Hembalt ? Avenue in Minneapolis. Hiram immigrated in 1910 while Sarah and Jeannett immigrated in 1912 from Lithuania. Sam and Ethel were born in Minnesota. According to this information, Hiram was born in 1862. Sarah was born in 1876 and Jeannette was born in 1910 either before or after Hiram emmigrated. Anglicized, Goldfus is Goldfoot, my maiden name. Most Goldfoots I have found have been from Lithuania.

On the 8 April 1930 census living at 706 Queen Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota was the widow Annie Goldfus age 58 who had $4,000 but was renting. She was born in Lithuania but her daughter, Rose age 28 was born in Minnesota. She was a social worker for the Family Welfare Association. Living with them was their aunt Gertrude Leventhal age 77, also from Lithuania. Annie immigrated in 1884 and Gertrude in 1880. They were some of the earlier immigrants from Lithuania that I have seen.

On the 11 April 1930 census in Minneapolis I found Charles Goldfus b: 1898 age 32 in Minnesota, a refrigeration salesman with parents from Russia who had married a year ago to Sylvia age 30 who was 28 when they married. She brought into the marriage her son from a previous marriage, 7 year old Charles F. Mark also born in Minnesota. They were living at 3120 12th Avenue South.

On the 10 April 1930 census living in St Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota I found Hyme I Goldfus age 36 born in Minnesota who had married Russian born Ethel age 28. They married two years ago when Hyme was 34 and Ethel 26.Ethel immigrated in 1904. Now Hyme is an office manager for a wholesale radio shop. They live on Cretin Avenue. Hyme's parents were from Russia.
