to ford City, in 1902 building the “Commercial Hotel,” a fine brick

handsomest business blocks in the place. For about five years Mr. Goldman
personally conducted the hotel he had built and opened, but in 1907 he sold,
and in 1911 purchased the “Park Hotel,” which he is still
conducting. This hostelry is located in a three-story brick building, 80 by 60

make it a first-class hotel in every respect. In 1900 Mr. Goldman was engaged
in a wholesale liquor business, but disposed of this interest. In 1907 he
bought the Heilman distillery in Manor township, which he is now operating. In
1909 Mr. Goldman was appointed justice of the peace, to fill the vacancy left
by Justice Nelson, and in 1910 was elected to that office for a term of five
years. However, in March, 1911, he resigned. For one year he served as a
member of Ford City council.On Aug. 13, 1897, Mr. Goldman married Anna Grieb, daughter of Lewis Grieb
