| MATHILDA KOLSKY HEIMAN
Mathilda Kolsky Heiman was born in New Orleans in 1857. She married Isidore Heiman in 1881. Mrs. Heiman owned retail shoe stores (also selling trunks, valises, etc.) at 153 and 175 Poydras Street. In 1886, she filed suit against her creditors, citing “the general dullness of business, the great competition in [her] line of work, the heavy expenditures necessary for rents, clerk hire, [etc.],” resulting in a steady loss of money. |
