Size 17.0 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 5350 items)
Abstract Samuel J. Cohen ("Jimmy") and Luba Tooter Cohen, both Jewish immigrants from Russia, were married in New York, N.Y., in 1920. They moved to Blytheville, Ark., where Jimmy worked in construction, evenutally opening his own business, S. J. Cohen Company. Their son Jerome Cohen (1922-2013) later joined the family business. Both Jimmy and "Jerry" served in World War II. The collection includes papers, family histories, photographs, home movies, and sound recordings relating to the Cohen, Tooter (also spelled Tudor), Dimand, and Freedman families, chiefly of Blytheville, Ark.; New London, Conn.; New York, N.Y.; and Minsk and Odessa, Russia. Papers document military service with the Seabees, a Naval construction regiment, during World War II; the S. J. Cohen Company; elementary education in Russia; civil engineering education in the United States; immigration; and ethnic cooking. Materials include personal and business correspondence, immigration and citizenship papers, military papers, school materials, recipes, newspaper clippings, postcards, and financial materials. Some of the school materials are in Russian (translations included). Family history materials include oral history interviews and transcripts, recorded by Marcie Cohen Ferris, that document emigration of Russian Jews and their adjustment to life in the United States in the 1910s. Family photographs document children and adults at play and family gatherings from the early 1900s to the 1960s, Russian military dress in the 1910s, a United States military base in the Pacific during World War II, and construction sites related to work done by the S. J. Cohen Company. Other photographs document African American sharecroppers, cotton farming, and a hunting camp. Home movies, filmed by Jerry Cohen, record the history of significant construction and engineering projects of S. J. Cohen Company. The films also record daily life in the Cohen family, including Temple Israel and the Jewish community of Blytheville, as well as family vacations and visits to Huddy Howoritz Cohen's home and family in New London. Slides are chiefly of family vacations and S. J. Cohen Company engineering projects. Sound recordings consist of spoken work recordings that were possibly created by Samuel J. Cohen. The Addition of 2016 consists of Black-and-white photographic prints depicting construction work and civil-engineering projects by the S. J. Cohen Company at various locations in northeastern Arkansas, 1920s-1940s.
