Robert Arons (1854-1933) was born in Lubz, Mecklenburg, Germany, and left the port of Hamburg in 1872 as an 18-year-old seaman aboard a freighter bound for Galveston. He was in Dallas by 1874 and appeared on deed records here in 1878. He was Postmaster at Ten Mile Creek on the Merrifield farm in Dallas County in 1878. He then became an itinerant salesman, moving his store of goods on a pack animal in the Colorado City area of the westward-building Texas & Pacific Railroad. He next became a miner in New Mexico, and was back in Dallas in 1882 as a clerk at Mayers Garden and Saloon at Akard and Marina streets.
In 1886, Robert married Matilda Jacoby (1860— 1941) of Fort Worth. The wedding was performed in Dallas by Rabbi Edward M. Chapman of Temple Emanu-El. The couple lived near Fair Park, and had three children: Harry, Lena, and Frediricke (Reka). Robert operated grocery stores at several changing locations. One was at 594 Elm Street, near the Dallas County courthouse. In 1912, he was at Lafayette and Washington streets. Son, Harry, delivered groceries by horse and wagon. In 1914, the store was at 409 Augusta Street.
