About Aaron Kreinik
Richard Kreinik, December 8, 2012: "Grandpa Aaron was a small man as i recall who lived on the west side of Buffalo and owned a haberdashery on grant St"
Betty Kreinik Klein, his granddaughter; March 2013: "Aaron passed away at 91. He owned a clothing store."
"It is good to know your ancestry were people of some education, intelligence and refinement, according to the manner of their times and the laws of their religion. On the paternal side, Zvie Chaim and Rachel Kreinik, lived in a town larger than my village (Zglobien). They were in the garment business (which Father really hated but wasn't trained for anything else) and once a year the sons, Nathan, Zalmon and Aaron, would take a load of finished garments to Krakow, where there was a Kirmash, a sort of Carnival and open market, to sell their stock. I remember that trip because it was the occasion also of Uncle Aaron's wedding to Tante Gittel in Krakow. Papa was in America, as I have already written, and Mama, Anna, Irving amd I were back n Europe for Mother's health." Leah Kreinik Jacobowitz, As I Remember, 1962, pp 12-13
1902 "My next stop was at Uncle Aaron's, who had settled in a small town in Louisiana, operating a dry goods store with the aid of a nephew of Tante Gittel's. It was Passover time, so I stayed two or three weeks, and had a very enjoyable time. There were very few, if any, Jewish families there, and the neighbors, perhaps out of curiosity, then real friendship, invited me to their parties, dances, which Tante helped me reciprocate with her hospitality. The nephew sort of rushed me, and proposed marriage. He was a nice boy still rather foreign, and it was nice to be liked. I had vague ideas of helping him get an American education, and wrote home about him. I wasn't really serious, just playing with the idea, and I got some good 'advice' from home, Anna writing for the folks, urging me to come home."
