Morris and Polly Srolovitz Family
The youngest Srolovitz brother, Morris (1900-1969) became a fur peddler and cattle dealer after moving to Calgary from the Rumsey farm. In the 1930’s he owned the Calgary Brokerage Exchange, an 8th Avenue East second-hand and western goods store. By 1950 the business had become the Central Furniture Exchange.
In 1927 Morris married Polly Ochman (b.1906), an immigrant from Russia. Polly expanded her business of renting rooms into a substantial apartment rental enterprise.
Morris and Polly Srolovitz had three daughters, Sarah Lillian (b.1929) Bernice Bobze (b.1940) and Veida (1933-1939) who died in a tragic vehicle accident.
Sarah was a student at University of British Columbia when she met and married Harry Wolfe (b.1927). They settled in Boston and raised four children – Mitchell, Zoe, David and Valerie.
Bernice remained in Calgary, where she carries on the family’s business interests and retains the family name, Srolovitz.
