Notes
a.
Note: H34 Note: . In Ben?s very poignant letter, he described his great grandfather?s funeral just before he left for America. Ben was my first cousin and we have the same great grandfather, as did your mother. You & I are first cousins once removed, so Ben was describing your great grandfather?s funeral, after which according to Ben?s letter, Shimon (Ben?s grandfather) ran the baths (Mikvah) in Vissokidvar (Ed. Vissoki dvor; Wysoki Dwor, Aukstadvaris.etc.) Which corresponds with my mother?s account of events that her father later took over her grandfather?s"Mikvan" in Vissoketver, a religious purifying bath for women). My mother exchanged letters with her father in the mid 1930s so he was still alive at that time. (Dorothy Hans) A 1963 letter from my Uncle Ben to his cousin Ascher in Michigan Dear Ascher Have finally gotten around to writing to you. I am Baruch Smith, the oldest son of Heshell Smith, your father?s oldest brother. The last time I saw your father was in Bay City, MI in 1906. I guess I am the only one who remembers Gussie, Debrusha, Sam, Berryl, your father and their grand-father who passed away in 1906 in Vissokidvor, where he, Shimon, your father?s father ran the ?baths?. I was 8 1/4 years old at that time and left for America right after my great grandfather?s funeral. I remember it like it was just yesterday. The procession is on foot and the dogs of the town are also in the procession. As a small boy, it impressed me. Of course your father and my father has passed away. Debrusha the oldest sister passed away young in 1914. The only one left is Gussie. I guess you have met her. I hope that if you take a trip out our way, you will drop in to see us. Will visit you someday. I hope in the near future as at the age of 65, I could go on to a hundred, but on the other hand it could be tomorrow. With kindest regards to your family, Sincerely with love, your cousin Baruch (Ben) Smith.
