Herman Freedlander (1879-1974). After the death of his father David Freedlander in 1898, Herman became the sole proprietor of the blossoming Freedlander department store in Wooster at the age of 17. He left school to take over the day-to-day operation of the store and to financially support his six younger siblings. He would continue to run the department store until his death at the age of 94 in 1974.
