∼OBITUARY OF ABRAHAM FEIGENBAUM
News of the death on Sunday in Wollaston of Abraham FEIGENBAUM, 71-year-old camera lens dealer, came as a shock today to Boston's veteran newspaper photographers.
One of the most prominent in his field, the Austrian-born FEIGENBAUM established his camera store in 1914 in the Old Studio Building at Tremont and Bromfield Street.
FEIGENBAUM was the first to introduce the name of Carl Zeiss of Jena (greatest name in optical achievement) to the public when he became agent for that firm in 1914.
He numbered among his closest friends most of Boston's veteran newspaper photographers. He had a unique personality and was a familiar sight on Boston's downtown streets because he never wore an overcoat. In the coldest weather he could be seen in a suit coat calmly and efficiently battling the elements.
FEIGENBAUM supplied most of the newspaper photographers with their camera equipment and accessories. He made his home at 1521 Beacon Street, Brookline, and retired, after 35 years in business, in 1949.
FEIGENBAUM was a member of the Germania Lodge, A.F. & A.M., and the Shriners, Aleppo Temple.
He leaves a wife, Esther, and a son, David FEIGENBAUM.
Committal Services were held at noon today in Sharon Memorial Park, Sharon.
