Monticello (Sullivan County, N.Y.)

The Fleischer Family papers document the family of Simon and Lilly (née Hammerschlag) Fleischer. Simon and Lilly emigrated from Poland to New York City in the early 1920s and married in 1928. They became naturalized United States citizens in the late 1960s. The Fleischers had two sons, Martin and Bernard. The Fleischers owned Fleischer Brothers Butchers in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, as well as Fleischer’s New Star Mountain Hotel in the Catskills area of Monticello, NY. The collection contains correspondence, passports, marriage records, naturalization records, some business documents, and many family photographs dating from the 1890s to the 1950s.

This collection contains an autographed menu from Kutsher's Country Club of Monticello, N.Y., which featured Gertrude Berg as Molly Goldberg at an evening in its Patio Club. Disk jockey Jack Eigen's autograph is also on the menu.
