Harry and Mary Srolovitz Family
Harry and Mary Srolovitz continued to live on the farm until 1941, when they bought the Red & White Store nearby in nearby Rumsey, they had four children: Ralph (1918-1990), Shirley (b.1919), Helen (b.1922) and Morris (b.1926)
Ralph and Morris moved to Rumsey and joined their father as partners in his store. In the mid-50’s Ralph and Morris changed their surnames to Sanders.
Their sister Shirley moved to Calgary and married a Lethbridge business, Max Corenblum. Helen Srolovitz lived in Rumsey, worked in the family store, and later moved to Edmonton, marrying Saul Dlin.
The family business interests spread, with Morris establishing himself as a bulk fuel dealer in Rumsey. The Red & White Store was sold in 1959; Harry Srolovitz, now a widower, and sons Morris and Ralph pulled up stakes after fifty years in the Rumsey district.
Morris Sanders and his wife Miriam Freedman (b.1926) moved to Calgary. Ralph Sanders and his wife Ruth Kosasky went to Vancouver. A year later Harry Srolovitz bought the Whitehouse Hotel in Drumheller, and Morris and Ralph, with their families, joined him there.
Harry Srolovitz died in 1965; in 1975 Morris and Ralph sold the Drumheller Hotel and moved to Calgary, becoming apartment building owners.
Ralph and Ruth Sanders had three children: Molly (b.1956), Melvin (b.1958) and Marvin (b.1964). Shirley and Max Corenblum had one son, Bernard (b.1948). Helen and Saul Dlin raised their three children – Arnold, Elliot and Bonnie – in Edmonton. Morris and Miriam Sanders’ three children are Barry (b.1961), Alias (b.1962) and Harry (b.1966).
