Herman Handler ~ Census Records, 1910 and 1920
There were big changes in this family between 1930 and 1940 and the U.S. Census records reflect the changes, as well a few similarities, helping to confirm that I have the same family.

By 1930, Herman Handler's family had moved again, to 629 Minerva Place in Akron.

Herman Handler, age 48, rented this property for $40 a month. His wife, Sarah was 41 and they had been married about 20 years. The entries for place of birth for him and his parents had Croatia crossed off and Austria written in, though at that time the area he was from was in the country of Yugoslavia (see Mappy Monday ~ Where the Handlers Were From). Wife Sarah was from Galicia - Austria. His original language was German and hers Polish, but I wonder if their original language was perhaps Hebrew. Herman reported immigrating in 1904 and Sarah in 1906 and they were both naturalized citizens. He worked as the proprietor of a produce company.
The family also happened to have a radio in the house.
Children, Arthur, Irwin, Milton, and Shirley were born in the U.S.: Arthur in Michigan (in about 1909-1910) and the younger three in Ohio. The younger two were in school. Arthur worked as a Manager in a dry goods store and Irwin worked as a clerk in a restaurant.

At first, I had trouble finding the family in 1940, but remembering that Sarah divorced Herman in 1931, I determined that yes, Herman Handler living at 3326 East Street in Hallidays Cove, West Virginia, was the same man who was in Akron, Ohio, in 1930.
