His brother, Samuel Kadets' (11/1/1879-2/4/1955), yahrzeit plaque in Beth Israel of Quincy, MA, lists his name as Shmuel ben Azriel Yeshaya, 12 of Shevat 5715. https://web.mit.edu/justom/Public/Erica/QuincyDisplay-to-press.pdf
Samuel and Abraham's parents were Isac Kadetsky (7/14/1854-7/11/1891) and Dora Frye (4/1861-?). These plaques show that Isac's Hebrew name was Yeshaya Azriel. Isac's cousin, Israel (Shaya Azriel) Kadetsky (my gggf) shared the same name. Based on Jewish naming custom, they were likely named after the same family member, potentially their grandmother, Nuchy Eliaszowicz's father, Azriel.
