Notes
a. Note:   Was very religious. The family were millers on the Bug river in Ustelug (now in the Ukraine) 120 miles north of lebov.
  The family lived well. People came to the water mill who needed grains ground. Joseph was very important in the villiage. He would trade with others due to his occupation. Shlomo Kornfeld would say the Joseph knew well the mecahnics of the mill.
  The women of the house baked and cooked, and they had an extensive garden.
  In World War I, the Germans destroyed the mill and turned the stones to a bridge. In 1917 Shlomo ran away from the Russian army.
  Joseph had 3 wives. The first died after Haskel (Charles) was born. He was 92 when he died.
  The Nazis came to the villiage in 1917 and killed Joseph on the spot when he was 92 years old because he was an old man, blind and diabetic. The rest of the jews in the villiage were marched into the synagog where they were kept captive for 2 weeks. They were then marched into the woods and killed in a mass grave.
