   ZELIG LONDON, a well known business man of Exeter, proprietor
of a dry goods store here, and also of a cloak store in Portsmouth, was
born in Russia in March, 1859, his parents, Jacob B. and Sarah Lon-
don, being natives of that country, where the father died after a long
business career as a tailor. The children of the family were M. H.,
Zelig, Abraham, Israel and Ida.
   Zelig London learned the trade of tailor in his native land and fol-
lowed it for some years there in association with his father. After the
latter's death he came to America, being then about twenty years of
age, his mother coming here later. They located first in Boston, com-
ing to Exeter in 1881. Here Mr. London has built up a good business
in the dry goods line, owning in addition a cloak store in Portsmouth,
as above noted. He was married in this country to Miss Fannie Million-
thaler, a daughter of Lewis and Bessie Millionthaler, whose other chil-
dren were Lewis, Moses and Sarah. Mr. and Mrs. London are the par-
ents of four children: Bessie, wife of A. Salden, manager of the "White
Store" in Portsmouth, owned by the subject of this sketch; Jacob B.,

father in the Exeter store, and Esther Ruth, who is also attending
school. In politics Mr. London is an independent voter. He belongs
