Biographische Angaben
Simon Oberndorffer was born in Bretten, Germany circa 1826. At 18 he immigrated to New York where he stayed for eight or nine year before arriving in Kingston around 1857. In New York, Oberndorffer had learned the trade of cigar making. Oberndorffer operated a cigar company in Kingston until his death in 1913. Both he and his German-born wife Cecelia (married in 1867) were pillars of the Kingston community and instrumental in the establishment of a synagogue for the local Jewish congregation. Together they had 12 children, eight of whom survived into adulthood. Oberndorffer was a member of many fraternal organizations, such as the Oddfellows and the Masons. He also served on City Council as the alderman for Cataraqui Ward in 1892.
