MR. MORRIS BISCHOFSWERDER

[From our Correspondent—HULL.]

On Friday last, Mr. Morris Bischofswerder, late of Penzance, passed away at St. Michaels Mount, Hull, at the age of 78. Mr. Bischofswerder was the last remaining member of the old Jewish Community of Penzance, when he left that town. His departure, in 1913, meant the closing of the old Synagogue there, established more than one hundred years previously, and in which, towards the end. he was the solitary worshipper. He was born in Germany, but at an early age—his father, the late Rev. Isaac Bischofswerder, having received an appointment as Chazan-Shochet to the Penzance Community—was brought to that town, together with his family of brothers. The deceased made his home there for upwards of fifty years. He married Julia Josephs, who was a member of one of the oldest families of that community, and who predeceased him twenty-four years ago, and was the last person to be burled in the Penzance Cemetery. He came over to Hull about twenty years ago and made his home with his late brother George. He leaves a daughter, Mrs. Rittenberg, of Newcastle on Tyne, and a son, of Southsea. The Rev. J. Freedberg officiated at the funeral, which was at the Delhi Street Cemetery on Sunday.
