#3333: Memorial Record of Western Kentucky, Lewis Publishing Company, 1904,
pp 550-552 (portrait in document) [McCracken] JOSEPH L. FRIEDMAN. Among
the representative and enterprising citizens and men of business affairs in
Paducah, there is none more conspicuous than he whose name introduces this
personal memoir. Mr. Friedman was born in the city of Louisville,
Kentucky, on the 14th day of April, 1857, a son of the late Leopold
Friedman and Louise (Weil) Friedman. Having received an excellent
education in the schools of Louisville and in Cecilian College, Mr.
Friedman, at the age of eighteen years, came to Paducah, Kentucky, where he
accepted
a clerical position in a clothing store. In 1878 he induced his father to
come to Paducah and establish a vinegar factory, under the style of Joseph
L. Friedman & Company, and thereafter, till the death of his father in
1886, he was associated with the latter in the manufacture and sale of
vinegar, and from then he continued to manage the business till 1890, when,
to an advantage he sold, and the manufactory has since been conducted by
the O. L. GregoryVinegar Company. In 1890, Mr. Friedman entered into a
partnership with his brother-in-law, Mr. Keiler, for the distilling and
wholesaling of liquor, under the firm name of Friedman, Keiler & Company.
They operate a distillery in Nelson county, Kentucky, and are the second
largest distillers and wholesalers of liquor in the state. Their famous
brand is known as "Brook Hill," and their volume of business has steadily
increased from the beginning. Taking into consideration that the firm
began business only thirteen years ago, and to-day [sic] stand second among
the many like concerns of the state, the firm has met with remarkable
success. This success has
been well merited by reason of the splendid business management together
with fair dealing. Besides active connection with this firm Mr. Friedman is
also prominently identified with many other business enterprises of
Paducah, among which there might be mentioned the Paducah City Railway
Company, of which he is a director; the City National Bank, of which he is
vice president; the Palmer House Company, which owns the Palmer House and
the Kentucky Theater, and in which company Mr. Friedman is the president;
the Smith & Scott Tobacco Company, of which he is a director; and in
addition to these he holds interest in other minor forms of business. The
business interests are mentioned to show our subject's prominence in
business affairs. He has a spirit of enterprise and progression well
worthy of emulation. His remarkable success places him among the most
active and sapient
business men of western Kentucky. In 1886 Mr. Friedman was united in
marriage to Miss Elizabeth Keiler, a lady of rare accomplishments. Their
home is celebrated for its generous hospitality, and both Mr. and Mrs.
Friedman belong to the highest circles of Paducah society. Fraternally he
is a thirty-second degree Mason, and also a member of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, the Knights of Pythias and the Knights of Honor.
In these orders he is popular, but no more so than he is with all who know
him. While politically Mr. Friedman is a stanch Democrat, he has never
sought political preferment. Instead, he prefers the life of a purely
business man, and his has been a
successful career in that field of activity. But in the affairs of life,
where man meets man in everyday relations, he has shown his noble
character. Among his hosts of friends he is esteemed for his genial spirit
and also for his
brotherly helpfulness in crises. He never fails to respond to requests for
charity, and this makes one of the spheres of his activity. Such a
personage as Mr. Friedman is a distinct ornament to the community, one of
the pillars which uphold the structure of society and give it stability.
Honesty and integrity in business and personal life, loyalty to friends,
free handed generosity and kind heartedness in his dealings with all, are
characteristics which increase his esteem among men and widen his
beneficent influence with each succeeding year of life.

the year 1925
he preached the annual sermon before the Gasper River Association on two
different occasions and also served as the member of the State Board of
Missions from that Association. A new house of worship was completed at
Hopewell Church and also at the Buttonsberry Mission while he served at
these two places. Revs. R. P. Brown, Dave Bunch, and Hubert White began
their ministry under his preaching. Since about the year 1937 he has been
inactive in the ministry due to a nervous breakdown from which he has never
fully recovered. Brother Wiggington was married to Miss Hallie M. Wood on
November 24, 1897. She is the daughter of George and Mary Wood.
They have the following children: Ethel, Albert, Addie, Frank, and Sarah.

ministry and that he is also the author of a tract entitled "Twenty-Five
