Brooklyn Times Union article on his death:
MORRIS MOLDAWSKY,
NEWS DEALER, DIES
Whether it was a pair of cotton
gloves a pressman wanted, a bottle
of soda pop for a thirsty copy boy,
a pair of shoelaces for a com-
positor, or just a stick of chewing
gum, Brooklyn Times employes for
nearly 18 years have been in the
habit of going across the street to
the little candy store at 525 At-
lantic ave.

For the last two days, however,
the little shop has been
closed.

Morris Moldawsky, who sold news-
papers, candy,
ice cream,
soda, stationery,
birthday cards and no-
tions behind the counter of the lit-
tle shop for 18 years,
was buried
yesterday
in
New
Mt.
Carmel
Cemetery, Queens.
He died Sunday at the age of
63, of a heart attack while at the
dinner table with his family,
Morris Moldawsky
WAS
born in
Russia and came to this country 32
years ago.

He opened his little shop, the only one he ever had, in 1913, and was known to everyone in the
neighborhood as
a genial
and honest merchant.
Funeral services were conducted
yesterday in his home, on the floor
above
the
shop,
by
the
Tollner
Benevolent Society,
of
which he
had been a member 30 years. The
State Street Temple, the local syna-
gogue, was opened in his honor.
He is survived by his wife, Celia;
four sons,
Joseph, Barnett, Harry
and Philip; a daughter, Sophie and 2 grandchildren.
