The eighth son born to John (Zelig) Jacob Broida (1857-1938) and Gertrude 'Gittel' Frank (1859-1898), both immigrants from Lithuania, which was controlled by Russia at the time. Born December 25, 1897 in Pennsylvania, his mother passed away the next year, and he was living with his Uncle Jacob Broida, and Jacob's wife Annie, in St. Louis, Missouri in the 1910 US Federal census. His brother Morris was living there too.
Harold married Leah Schreiber about 1917- he was 20, she just 16. She had been born in Russia, as were Harold's parents.
Harold's World War I draft card completed 12 Sep 1918 lists him as being short with a medium build, and brown hair and eyes. He stated that his wife Leah Broida was his next of kin, and they were living at 114 Wooster Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Harold was working as the Head Stockman at Frank & Seder Co., a clothing store in Pittsburgh. He was just 20 years old.
Harold and Leah lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for the remainder of their married life. In 1932 they were living at 418 Highland Ave S, Apt. 610 in Pittsburgh, and in 1946 were living at "The Frontenac Apartments." The 1940 US Federal Census noted that he was working 45 hours per week as a buyer, and made $5,000+ – only 2 others on that census page made that amount, and most neighbors made much less.
Harold and Leah never had children. Harold died suddenly in 1953 at the age of 55.
