When Mr. Segal reached Carson City he was worth eight dollars and eighty-five cents, but he immediately secured a clerkship with his brother-in-law, Isador Cohn, and notwithstanding his ignorance of the language of this country he made rapid progress and was a most efficient salesman. He saved his money, speculated successfully, and by 1895, was able to begin business on his own account in Yerington. His stock is a well selected one of general merchandise, which he sells in a conveniently located place of business, and gives all his customers the most considerate attention. His house is one of the finest in the place, and he stands very high in the business world.

Before leaving home he was married to Miss Hattie Cohn, and they had one child before the journey to America was made, namely, S. C. Segal, who is now at college in Berkeley, California. The children born in Nevada are: Silver, Milvy, Evelyn. In politics Mr. Segal is a Republican, but has never desired office. He is a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, and, while his business career has been very successful, he has been equally fortunate in securing the good will and confidence of his fellow citizens.
