Note included with photograph: This is the wedding picture of Herman Klatzker (born December 10, 1875 and died December 3, 1963) and Anna Dorothy Leopold (born May 6, 1882 and died December 19, 1954), taken in Shanghai, China on March 24, 1903. They had their first child, Martin (1904-1938) in Tientsin, China.
In 1906 Herman and Anna moved to San Francisco where they had their second child, Shirley (Blatt) (1906-1964) and then moved to Seattle because of the earthquake in San Francisco. It was in Seattle that they took roots. They had seven children in Seattle: Pauline, Bert, Louis, Margaret, Allen, Fern, and Mae.
Herman covered the gamut of the business life of Seattle, from the ownership of a retail department store, to real estate, to the jewelry business. He and his wife became pioneers in Seattle's early cultural and civic life. He was a lifetime Zionist and co-founder of the Seattle Zionist Organization as its first secretary. He was a lifetime member of B'nai B'rith. He and his wife were active in every phase of Jewish life in Seattle for over 40 years. Herman was also one of the founders of the Hertzl Congregation, and a co-founder of the Hertzl Cemetery. At one time he was a member of every Jewish Congregation in Seattle at the same time. Herman and Anna both died in Los Angeles, their last home.
