In 1904, Sadie Goldstein (1883-1968), a New Jersey native and the daughter of Eastern European immigrants, married Jacob S. Eron (1874-1907) in North Carolina. The newlyweds moved to Kingstree, South Carolina later that year, and opened dry goods store J. S. Eron & Co. on East Main Street. In 1907, the store relocated to Academy Street. After Jacob Eron’s untimely death, Mrs. Eron continued to run the store. In 1910, she married David Silverman (1879-1936) of Atlanta, Georgia. In 1914, the Silvermans renovated the building occupied by J. S. Eron & Co. and renamed it Silverman’s Department Store. The store burned in 1981.
