​Lazarus and Leah Falowitz (probably Falovich) owned the store at Pudimoe, not far from Vryburg, on the train and road to Kimberley. Leah was a Horwitz, and her Hebrew name was Sarah Leah bat, Moshe. The couple had five children: Cecilia (married to Harry Michelow), Betty (married to Solomon Lipschitz), Abraham (married to Gertude Waks), Molly (married to Jack Freedman), and Jack (married to Zena Hirsch, nee Abel, in 1948). Lazarus died in Cape Town on 19 February 1928 at Monte Rosa Nursing Home. He was 60 at his death. He took over the trading station in May 1917 from an A. Solomon. Lazarus Falowitz drew up his last will and testament in Vryburg in 1917. He lived and traded at Pudimoe for at least a decade at Pudimoe. He operated the store under the name L. Falowitz and Son. Later, that same store belonged to the Wolperts. After he passed away, Betty (who married Solomon Lipschitz in 1920) ran the store.

From the UCT Rootsbank site, we learn that he was born in Vidukele (or Vidukle), Lithuania, in 1869, and arrived in South Africa in 1897. At the time of his naturalization in 1905, he was 36 years old and living in Beaconsfield. Leah passed away in Port Elizabeth in 1940 at the age of 69.
