History

In 1888, Jarvis Andrew Lattin (1853–1941) started a pickle and sauerkraut factory in Farmingdale, New York. There were many pickling companies already established in the area. He had a house built on the land next to the factory. [4] [5] The factory in 1894 was sold to Aaron Stern and it became the "Stern and Lattin Pickle Company" and in 1914 "Stern and Brauner". [6] It was also listed as "Stern Pickle Products, Inc." and "Stern's Pickle Works". It was at 111 Powell Place off Melville Road and lasted until 1985.

Aaron Stern (1876-1952)

He went to the US in 1893 from Austria and was naturalized in 1898. He married Anna (1889-1933) in 1910 and had the following children: Sidney Stern (1915–2008); Nathan Stern; Joseph Stern (1909-1996); Hilda Stern; and Edythe Stern (1918-2016). Aaron was living in Brooklyn.
