Notities over Victor Gedeon Clumeck

1907 Census Two chaufferurs, 1 cook, 3 houseboys, 3 gardeners, 2 amahs for the kids.

Natan and Pearl divorced, and Victor spent his childhood in Cairo. When he was still young, his mother packed him up and took him with her on a boat that left Egypt and was on its way to Saigon where (according to the story) she was intending to marry a new husband. On the way to Saigon, the boat made a stop in Singapore. Victor got off the boat and met an Italian man there who offered him employment so he stayed. That's the story of how Victor Clumeck got to Singapore. Later, he met Marie Frankel there, they married and had six children.
Victor Gedeon Clumeck was born in Jaffa in late 1876 or early 1877, and reportedly grew up in Palestine and later Cairo. French was his native language. According to his eldest daughter Annetta, Victor went to a school in Palestine that had been founded by the French Rothschilds for poor Jewish boys in Palestine. His mother Pearl Goldenberg was married first to Victor's father, Nathan (Natan), then had two other marriages later.
Victor married Marie Frankel in Singapore and founded Clouet and Company in partnership with a Frenchman named Clouet (first name). His eldest son Nathaniel (Ned) later took over the company and eventually sold it, in 1955, to a firm called Denis Freres, based in Bordeaux.

The book "“ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SINGAPORE”
BEING SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CAPITAL OF THE STRAITS SETTLEMENTS FROM ITS FOUNDATION BY SIR STAMFORD RAFFLES ON THE 6th FEBRUARY 1819 TO THE 6th FEBRUARY 1919" mentions Victor Clumeck's first job in Singapore! The reason Victor stayed in Singapore is when Pearl and he had their stopover on the way to Saigon, Pearl and Victor ran into a man they knew from home. He told Pearl it was ridiculous to bring a young boy with her on her way to her fiance, she should be able to relax and have fun, so she should leave Victor and he could have room and board in exchange for helping in the store. PAGE 187: VICTOR CLUMECK’S FIRST JOB-THE ONE HE HATED BECAUSE THE STORE OWNER WOULD NOT ADVANCE HIM FROM ERRAND BOY. Joseph Bastiani was established here in 1873, and for many years carried on the business of pineapple preserving. The firm had ceased to exist in 1905, but Mrr. V. Clumeck, who was in it in 1891, is still in Singapore.
My father [Victor] came out as a boy of nine or ten. His mother
was supposed to be a great beauty in those days. My father was born somewhere in Palestine and the rich Rothschilds living in Paris sent money to this group who was in Palestine to educate boys, because girls weren't even thought of to educate them in French.
Yes, French was his first language. And when he died he was
counting in French, in his bed. Because he talked to Esther and Ada and Ana because they went to school in Switzerland and they came back talking French. So he loved talking with them. And he was very handsome, a darling man who loved dancing. We'd go to the hotel every Saturday night, the Raffles Hotel and he would always tell Esther, because she would come with us, to save the last waltz. He
and Esther used to dance the waltz. And he loved it. And he said when he was a little child he remembers going on the beach in Israel, or whatever it was called [Jaffa], and he used to hear people saying "what a handsome little boy" and he loved it.
