Help required. Would any of the directories for San Francisco list HERMAN RUPPIN who is reputed to have been a Grain Merchant in the 1870's . Ruppin and his brother Sallust, are said to have made a fortune at the goldrush town of Chiltern in Victoria. As yet, I have not found the date of his death, but I feel sure that if he died in San Fransciso there would have been a substantial obituary published. Any help at all would be appreciated. With best wishes and congratulations to the industrious persons who so kindly help so many inquirers. Robert Ashley
