Notes for VALENTINE EDELMAN:
Valentine Edelman entered the world in November 1830. His older brother Charles was born in 1827.The two Edelman brothers, Valentine and Charles, immigrated from Hesse Darmstadt, Germany. They came to Baltimore, MD. Valentine became a naturalized citizen in 1856. He took Louisa George, from Hanover Germany to be his wife and they started their family in the growing city. They had two sons, John Henry Edelmann, b. February 03, 1857 and another son whom he named after his brother, Charles Edelmann b. 1861.

Valentine started a Box Factory on the southeast corner of Water and Grant Streets (list in the 1873 Wood's City Directory). A year later the business is called Edelman and Bro. and located at 3 Mercer Street. The 1874 City directory lists Valentine and Charles Edelman as the owners.

In 1877, Baltimore was in the midst of a severe depression. Hard times came from the stock market collapse and the closing of the stock exchange in 1870. The partial cause of this was speculation in railroad stock.

The railroad responded by cutting wages for workers by 25% (below subsistence in many cases) and threw an estimated 1 million people out of work. Machinery had reduced the need for skilled labor and the workers were feeling the crunch.

In early summer of 1877, about 150 box makers and 700 can makers in the city's second-largest industry went out on strike. Their protest followed a severe winter in which numerous groups demanded that Mayor Latrobe provide employment because their families lacked even the bare necessities.

VALENTINE (m) "strong" or "healthy" (Latin), from the Roman family name Valentinus, which is from Latin valens "strong". Saint Valentine was a 3rd-century martyr. His feast day was the same as the Roman fertility festival of Lupercalia, which resulted in the association between Valentine's day and love.
