Harold Krongelb reports:

Wolf was a Shammash at the Cannon Street Shul in lower Manhattan (he also lived on Cannon Street, in an area that has been built over). He also was a Mohel. New York State law allows a spiritual leader to perform marriages, even if they are not ordained. Wolf performed other family marriages, but I do not have the details.

[DWJ: He performed the marriage for his son, Elias and his daughter-in-law, Leah Kreinik Jacobowitz. http://www.geni.com/profile/6000000001450310085/events/6000000001450625097]

"About that time (after Norman was born in 1912) I had been taking care of Father Jacobowitz, who was ill with dropsy; my step mother-in-law (Rivkah (Regina) Eichler Jacobowitz) was there of course with him, and they stayed a month. I did the best I could, which wasn't more than a light diet, rubdowns, and cheerful atmosphere. He loved the touch of my hands -- "golden hent", he said. He was a saintly man, never a go-getter, but he was capable of borrowing five dollars from a friend in order to help another friend. He used the innate psychological approach in bringing up his family, never laid a hand on them. Like the time Pop told me, when he came home at an unholy hour from a card game, and his father was already saying his early morning prayers. He didn't stop "dovening" but when he folded up his tefillen, he said to Eli: "I didn't expect that from a son of mine." That was enough to make Pop give up cards until after we were married. Father J. passed away at his home soon after, and we named Toddy after him, female version, Zelda; her middle name, the first being "Pessel" after a step-grandmother...
