Herbert Pazol papers MSS.016
Herbert Pazol was a prominent local businessman and active member of the Muncie Community. In 1940, he started work as a salesman at Pazol's Jewelers, a downtown business operated by the Pazol family since 1920. He held a variety of positions within the business, including president, until his retirement in
1986.
Along with running a successful business, Pazol was heavily involved in community affairs. Following service in World War II, Pazol joined American Veterans of World War II and Korea (AMVETS),
Muncie Post 12, where he served as post commander from 1949-1950. Pazol was active in the local
B’nai B’rith chapter along with being a member of Temple Beth-El. He also served on the Delaware-
Muncie Metropolitan Plan Commission in the late 1960s and early 1970s and as vice president of the
1978 Delaware County Historical Festival.
This collection includes AMVETS State Convention notes (1949, 1950, 1969), Delaware-Muncie
