Hymen Benjamin Mintz (September 12,1909 - November 1986) was an American Republican Party politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 1954 to 1957.
Mintz was born September 12,1909,in Newark,New Jersey,the son of Abraham and Gussie Mintz,both immigrants from Russia. He had an older sister,Sally. [1] He attended Lafayette Grammar School and Central High School in Newark,and was a 1929 graduate of Upsala College. He received his law degree from Rutgers University Law School in 1932,and was admitted to the New Jersey Bar the following year. [2] Mintz practiced law in Newark for his entire career.
Mintz was elected to the State Assembly in 1953,and was re-elected in 1955. He did not seek re-election to a second term in 1957. [3]
In 1966,Mintz was elected to the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
Following the death of Democratic incumbent Madaline A. Williams in 1968,Mintz became the Republican nominee for Essex County Register of Deeds and Mortgages in 1969 and was elected. He did not seek re-election in 1974;Mintz's Deputy,William L. Stubbs,lost in the Democratic landslide that year.
In 1979,Mintz mounted what was widely viewed as a quixotic campaign for County Register against his successor,Democrat Larrie W. Stalks. He ran on a single issue:the elimination of the office to save money. Boosted by the indictment of Democratic Sheriff John F. Cryan,who was defeated for re-election,Mintz came within 800 votes of upsetting Stalks. [4]
Mintz was married to Beatrice Altshuler Mintz (June 28,1914 - December 3,2010) and had two children:Mark Allen and Joan Ellen. They resided in Newark before moving to Livingston,New Jersey.
