” Herman Cone was a Bavarian-Jewish immigrant who owned and operated a successful dry goods store in Baltimore. By the 1870 U.S. Census, the Cones were already registered as residents of the city’s eighteenth ward, where they lived with Herman’s widowed sister Fanny Weil as well as two domestic servants. Herman Cone went into business with some of his wife’s relatives and established a wholesale cigar and grocery business called Guggenheimer, Cone, and Company. By 1871, the Baltimore City Directory listed Cone as a proprietor of the firm, which was located at 278 Hollins Street.”
