Description
Sammy Wolfson as a teenaged boy, shown playing a trumpet and wearing a band uniform.
He was born in Strasburg to George Joseph and Ida L. (Kaplan) Wolfson who had immigrated from Lithuania and married in New York City in 1916.
Sammy's father, Joe Wolfson, ran a clothing store located at 183 E. King Street in Strasburg for many years. In the rear, he operated a steam iron and dry cleaning shop while his family lived in the apartment upstairs.
Sammy had two older siblings, Morton I. and Ada who were both born in Maryland.
Sammy married Shirley Florice Winer from Baltimore, Maryland, in the mid 1940's.
By 1950, the couple lived in Los Angeles, Burbank, CA, where Sammy was listed as the co-owner of a restaurant. By then they had two children, Cindra L and Mark, and at least three more arrived after that.
Sammy lived in California for the rest of his life and is buried in Culver City near Los Angeles.
