ANTHONY KOBUS was born in France in 1837. As different census have him as being born in France and Germany, it would be safe to say he was born in the Alsace-Lorraine Region of what is now France. After emigrating to America he founded a shoe business in 1858 at 943 South 4th Street in Camden NJ. He soon moved to 840-842 South 4th Street, the corner of South 4th and Spruce Streets. The 1880 census has him living at 842 South 4th Street with wife Elizabeth, a native of Bavaria, sons Joseph, 18, and Henry, 15, and daughter Elizabeth, 8, at 840 South 4th Street. It is there where he made his home for many years. Elizabeth Kobus, born in Bavaria in 1827, passed away in 1883. The 1910 Census shows that Anthony Kobus had moved to the White Horse Pike in Collingswood NJ. Besides his shoe business, Anthony Kobus was a principal in the Broadway Trust Bank along with John J. Burleigh and William J. Cooper. After his death on November 20, 1920, his sons Henry and Joseph Kobus moved the business to a nearby building at 934 Broadway in 1924. Anthony Kobus was buried at Harleigh Cemetery, next to his wife. Anthony Kobus' daughter-in-law, son Joseph's second wife Mary Walsh Kobus, was one of Camden first female politicians. She was elected to the City Commission, and served as the Director of Public Safety in the late 1930s and early 1940s. |
