from Barbara West: "I visited grandma and grandpa in Lakewood, and remember her as a great cook, and warm and loving person. I believe she directed some plays at the local synagogue. Incidentally, they were religious (don't believe any of their children were), and I remember Grandpa (who lived with us and Judith's family for a few years after Anna died) walking around the house every evening saying his prayers aloud, wrapped in his prayer shawl, etc. and reading from the bible. He, incidentally, was quite inventive, and rigged up a shower in our bathroom , and did other little things around the house."

per Howard Chesler:

"Yes, Akkivar, our ancestor, your Jacob’s brother, changed his name to Jacob Yarmolsky (or Yarmalovsky) when he first came to NYC to evade the Tzar”s spies (he had left Russia to stay out of the army, as he was a pacifist). He left his wife and 3 of his children in Russia when he came (one of them was Jerry-Isidor-and they came over later. The next 5 children were born in New York. The youngest were twins, both of whom were in the army most of their lives, and somehow changed their last name to Chester. There are many engineers and inventors in our branch of the family (and yours, as I have learned this week) and the family is VERY large. http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Slonim/Slonim.html The political and economic conditions 1895-1903. - The reign of Nicolas II. - A new Czar and the same old persecutions. - “Hit the Jews and save Russia”. - New danger of arson - two hooligans about to set fire to the entire town. - Jewish - guards. - Fires in neighboring villages. - Establishment of the volunteer fire fighters union. - A new face in town: Zev Yakobson - active in the community, a man of talents and charming personality. - Improvement in the economic situation - in the lumber trade, banks and credit companies, as well as retail trade. - Stabilization of a Jewish proletarian class in town - thousands of laborers and clerks. - Change in the character of the emigration to America. - Emigration to the Jewish colonies in Argentina. - R'Noah Katzowitz's visit in Slonim.
