About Abraham Charak
WITH SONS AND DAUGHTERS - January, 1905
Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Charak of West Somerville Celebrate Their Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Charak of West Somerville yesterday celebrated their golden wedding with pleasant festivities. Abraham Charak was born at Brest, Russia in 1835. In 1855 he married Miss Fannie Feldstein, who was his junior by about four years. The couple went to Odessa on the Black sea, where Mr. Charak went into the boot and shoe findings trade, amassing considerable property, likewise rearing a family of seven sons and two daughters.
In 1880 and 1881 the race riots in that part of Russia became quite frequent and the Characks decided to come to this country. They bought a farm at Medway, Mass. After a year, in 1882, Mr. Charak and his elder sons went into business in Boston. In 1885 the couple built a home in West Somerville; where they are now living.
Abraham Charak is still actively engaged in the wholesale smallware and jewelry business with his son.
Mr. Charak is deeply interested in the study of Hebrew literature. One son is a lawyer in Boston, another is a well-known business man. Two are merchants in Cambridge. Another is a merchant in Woburn, while two others are salesmen. The two daughters, like all the sons, are married. The old couple have 19 grandchildren, the oldest a girl of 19, the youngest a boy, a year old.
Mr. and Mrs. Charak were aided in receiving their guests yesterday by their sons and daughters, Mr. and Mrs. William Charak, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Charak, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Charak, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Charak, Mr. and Mrs. Harry J. Charak, Mr. and Mrs. Moses Charak, Mr. and Mrs. A. Klinger, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reinhers and their grandchildren Francis, Sophia, Rita, Henry B., William Jr. and Estey Charak. Mr. and Mrs. Charak received many gifts including 50 new $10 gold pieces from their sons.
