Green Lawn - Simon Lazarus

Green Lawn Cemetery

Simon Lazarus was the founder of what was to become The F&R Lazarus & Co. He opened the Lazarus store in Columbus in 1851, assisted by his wife Amelia and sons Fred and Ralph. The Civil War demand for uniforms expanded the men's clothing industry and led to the development of sizing standards. Lazarus expanded to include ready-made men's civilian clothing and eventually a complete line of merchandise.
