Cyrenius A. Newcomb, Sr.
Cyrenius Adelbert Newcomb Sr. (1837-1915) founded Michigan's first department store, Newcomb-Endicott, which became one of the largest mercantile firms in the Midwest prior to World War I. He was also a leader in reform and philanthropic work, including being one of the founders of the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Cyrenius Newcomb Sr. was born to Hezekiah and Nancy (Rounds) Newcomb in Cortland, New York, November 10, 1837. His family can be traced to the Newcombs who were actively involved in the American Revolution.〔http://www.rkwest.com/personal/thenewcombs/?page_id=23〕 Starting in the dry goods business at age 18, Newcomb Sr. came to Detroit from Taunton, Massachusetts in 1868 and set up a dry goods store on the corner of Jefferson and Woodward. Three years later, the store moved to the first floor of the original Detroit Opera House Building. By 1881, the store moved again to a location on Woodward Avenue that Hudson's would later occupy.
Newcomb Sr. was first married to Mary Haskell in Connecticut and they had three sons and a daughter. After her death, he married Mary Sharp in 1899 in Detroit.
Cyrenius Newcomb Sr. died in late 1915.〔Information index card at the Detroit Public Library〕
