Sigmund Samuel (October 24, 1868 – April 29, 1962) was a Toronto born son of industrialist Lewis Samuel (1827–1887) and continued to run his father's steel business.
Biography
Samuel was born in 1868 to Lewis and Kate Samuel in Toronto.[1] His father founded M & L Samuel Company in 1856,[1] that later grew to become an importer and distributor of steel products in Canada (now as Samuel, Son & Co., Limited) of Cooksville, Ontario (now in Mississauga, Ontario).[2]
Samuel became involved in the business following the death of his father in 1887. Samuel was an important member of the Holy Blossom Congregation, which his father was a member of.
Samuel married Leah May Mandelson, who bore several children (Kathleen Samuel b. 1899, Lewis Samuel II b. 1900, Norman Mandelson Samuel b. 1902 and Florence May Samuel b. 1907).
Later in life Samuel made donations to cultural (the Royal Ontario Museum's Signmund Samuel Building) and educational (the University of Toronto's Sigmund Samuel Library) interests.[3]
Samuel died in Toronto on April 29, 1962.[4]
