"I loved seeing a photo of Great Uncle Saul (Schojl); I've never seen one before. My father, Isadore claims that he remembered him even though he was only three years old (the sisters, Dora & Jenny lived within a short walking distance of one another). Dora was the midwife at my father's birth on 2/18/1911). The year 1914 was a bad one for the Letter/Latter family: - the death of young Esther, then the death of Saul (Schojl), & the start of World War I, which cut everyone off from the extended family back in Europe."

OCCUPATION: 'Mydlarz' in Polish is a Soap Manufacturer or Soap-Maker
