JOSEPH LOEWENSTEIN DIED AT HOUSTON HOME
Former Prominent Rockdale Business Man Goes to his Reward on 79th Birthday, September 18
Ben Loewenstein, Jr. and mother, Mrs. B. Loewenstein were called to Houston Saturday, September 18, by news of the death of the former's uncle, J. Loewenstein, who died at his home in that city on the 79th anniversary of his birth. The funeral was held Sunday, 19th, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Theodore D. Meyer, interment being in Beth Israel cemetery with Rabbi Henry Barnston, as the officiating clergyman.
Mr. Loewenstein was born in Prussia, but came to this country in 1869, and was one of the first citizens in the new town of Rockdale. The firm of B. Loewenstein & Brother was launched in this city in 1873. This firm became one of the first in commercial strength in all Central Texas, and continued as such for many years. The name "Loewenstein" has been continually linked with the civic and commercial progress of Rockdale since that date and the business is still represented here under the management of Ben Loewenstein, Jr., occupying the same location as in former years. Joseph Loewenstein accumulated considerable property here which he never disposed of.
In the late 80's, he removed to Houston, where he operated a chain of tobacco stores under the firm name of J. Lewenstein & Son. He is survived by his son, Edward B. Loewenstein and daughter, Mrs. T. D. Meyer.
Decedent was a life member of Holland Lodge No. 1, A. F. & A. M., Houston; president of Lone Star Lodge, I. O. B. R., and active member of the congregation of Temple Beth Israel, serving on the church board. He had been in declining health for several months.
