GEDCOM Note
Bio notes: Among the Jewish immigrants who arrived here in the 1890s was Philip Wulfsohn, my father. In his own way, he would contribute greatly to the establishment of a Jewish presence in this district. Born in 1881 on a farm owned by his father, Abel [Avraham] Wulfsohn, near Zemelis in Lithuania (then a province of Russia), Philip was the fourth of five sons, as well as having three sisters. The prime activity of the farm was the rearing and purchasing of horses suitable for working as pit ponies in the British coal-mining industry. Herman, the third eldest and the brightest of the sons, was sent to Doncaster in England to work for Shapiro Sons & Co., who were importers of horses and pit ponies in particular and he probably influenced his employers to import the ponies from his family farm.
