William Kreinik

Leah Kreinik Jacobowitz, As I Remember, " I started for home in the Spring of 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 friendliness, invited us to our 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, Ann writing for the folks, urging me to come home.

A Study of a rural town in Louisiana
pages 14-15
"The total population a decade later increased 15.86% to 29,655, of which 60% were white. The number of colored people actually decreased 10%, probably due to the fact that several large sawmills preferring negro labor developed in neighboring parishes. The foreign-born element had decreased from 315 in 1870 to 245 in 1890, but according to the 1900 census, the number rose to 334. In 1892, one of the worst high waters in history destroyed most of the crops of that year. The deposits from the slowly receding water, however, left the land more fertile than before. In this decade there was again a marked increase in the acreage of the principal crops. …

Expansion in business, industry, and education in Avoyelles characterize the first ten years of the 20th Century...."
