Jozef (Joseph) Decker

Jozef Dekelbojm (#P80) was the last in this family to arrive. He arrived to the port of New York on October 25, 1923 aboard the S.S. Minnekahda. He was a 16 year boy making his living as a tailor. His birthplace and last place of residence was in Zofijowka, Poland. The name of his closet relative he left behind was his sister Lehka Rotaz in Zofijowka. His destination in America was to his brother A. Dekelbojm at 334 Grenshav Avenue in Chicago. Jozef also appeared on the "detained" list - the cause of his detention was written as "to TEL $" (which I assume means he needed to phone someone for money). His disposition was written as "RR Bro. Aaron at 1833 So. Spalding Avenue in Chicago" - which I assume means he was released to his brother Aaron. There is a notation on the passenger record indicating that Jozef was naturalized - the notation reads "11-35213 5/3692".
