Isaac Kadetsky was a Big Time Trouble Maker Part III

Isaac Kadetsky who was born in 1880 and lived in Boston got into serious mischief! 

In 1888 and 1892 he found himself as the center of trouble. 

This article comes from the front page of the Boston Globe Monday, April 12, 1897. Isaac would have been 17 years old and was among the older boys involved in the card "playing ring." This time the trouble-making was playing poker and smoking cheap cigars. I find the descriptions of policing, the stakeout, and the takedown from the 1890s to be entertaining. Unbelievable that a Police Officer's nickname was "Big Rufe," who was a "Gigantic Sergeant." I wonder who "jollied de old man and were goin' to just have a little game -ace?"

Bluma Rosa Kadetsky Part 2

Bluma Rosa Kadetsky's headstone and death certificate have 2 dates of death. The death certificate shows her death on March 21, 1910, while her headstone has February 22, 1910. It appears whoever commissioned the headstone had the wrong English date. 

An additional complication is that 1910 was a Jewish leap year. Since 1910 was a Jewish leap year, there were 2 months of Adar, 1 & 2. So the correct Yahrzeit for Bluma Rosa Kadetsky is March 21, 1910 is the 10th of Adar 2. 

 In the 1900 US Census (see below), she is living with her daughter Adaline Hymuth. She was born in 1832. She had 6 children, 2 of whom were still alive. She is listed as married for 50 years. She arrived in 1880. 

Two more pieces of the puzzle for Bluma Rosa Kadetsky: There is a death record in Beizun for Szmul Kadecki in 1853, listing his widow as Bluma Roza Kadecki.

Isaac was born the following year. It is highly likely that Bluma Roza Kadecki married a second time. It is very common in those times for a brother to marry his brother's widow. Perhaps Bluma Roza married Yitzchak Hoshua and had Abraham Joseph Kadetsky and Adeline Kadetsky. 

Additionally, in the 1910 US Census Adeline Hymoff (Waters), nee Kadetsky lived at 191 Magnolia St., next door to Bluma Rosa Kadetsky. Living next door to her elderly, 82 year old, mother would make a lot of sense (as documented on Bluma Rosa Kadetsky's death certificate. see previous post).

Bluma Rosa Kadetsky; Mother of Isaac, Adeline and Abraham Joseph Kadetsky?

Bluma Rosa Kadetsky died in Boston Massachusetts in 1910. Her headstone's inscription is very informative. Her headstone indicates that she had multiple children! Her headstone inscription is "Eemeynu" which translates as "Our Mother." If she only had one child the inscription would have been "Eemee" which means "My Mother." 

On her death certificate, her husband's name is Samuel Kadetsky. Her parents are listed as Jacob Jackson and Adeline Levy. I am unsure exactly who her children are. 

There are two Boston Kadetsky branches that are possibly her children:

1. Most likely is Isaac Kadetsky (1854-1891) whose parents on his death certificate are Samuel Kadetsky and Rosa Abrahams. 
2. Another intriguing option is Adeline Waters Hymoff nee Kadetsky. Adeline's death certificate show her parents are listed as Blumie Jackson and Isaac Kadetsky. On Adeline's headstone, her father is listed as Yitzchak Yehoshua. If Bluma Rosa Kadetsky was Adeline's mother, then Adeline would then be named for her maternal grandmother. Adeline's brother, Abraham Joseph Kadetsky's death records do not record his mother's name. 

In the 1880 US Census, Abraham Joseph Kadeska and Isac Kadezky are neighbors. A Kadezka (20 yo) was married to Shifla (21 yo). Living with him was his brother-in-law, J. Kaufman. Next door was Isac Kadezky (29 yo) with his wife Dora (21 yo) and son Samuel (10/1879).

"Our precious mother, Bluma Rosa daughter of Jacob, died 13 of Adar (I) 5670, may her soul be bound up with life. Beloved mother, Blume R. Kadetsky died Feb 22, 1910.
