Samuel Rosenbaum was born on September 9, 1917, in New York City. On October 11, 1940, he married Eva Weiss, and five days later he registered for the draft. At that time he was working at Krasne Brothers, a wholesale grocery business, now Krasdale Foods, based in the Bronx.
When he enlisted in the Army, on September 22, 1942, he stated that he had two years of college and his work was in the category of "managers and officials."
While in the Army he was hospitalized for hernia surgery in October, 1944. (He had been injured in the line of duty.) According to his military hospitalization form, he was discharged from the Army after two years and five months, which would make the discharge date February 1945. (The discharge date on the hospitalization form appears to be incorrect, since it is prior to the surgery date.)
He died in September, 1966.
