Pessia Kadecki

This is Pessia Kadecki Lelonek's headstone in Israel. She is Shaya Aziel's youngest daughter? Pessia's oldest child is still alive in Israel at 98 years old. She has been a terrific source of info and has been confirming or denying family info as I have uncovered new connections and records.

1910 Benjamin Kadetzky

From the Ellis Island database,

First Name: Benjamin

Date of Arrival: Sep 13, 1910
Age at Arrival: 40y Gender: M Marital Status: M

It looks like this Benjamin returned to the "old Country" as he was already a US citizen.  Aged 40 means Benjamin was born in 1870.

He could be the same Benjamin J who is buried in
Mt Lebanon Cemetery, Queens

Some more Kadetsky information

Evidence points to the fact that Bessie and Morris lived with my great grandparents in 1900 and are listed in the census as "cousins" but what the relationship is, is as yet unknown.

BENJAMIN KADETSKY our dear father Binyamin Tzvi b Avraham Yosef, d 28 nissan 5679, age 33

Martha Kadetsky Bornstein (oldest daughter of Isaac and Annie Kadetsky) and her husband Jacob Bornstein.

We just found (Pesach 2010) this gravestone at Ohavey Sedek cemetery in West Roxbury, MA, the same cemetery where the Jacob (1817) Kadetsky family plot is - could that be another clue to our connection?   Elijah Rueben Kadetsky died in 1902 aged 4,  from head injuries.  His parents were Abraham Joseph and Celia (Shifra) Kadetsky. 

  

The oldest gravestone in the Kadetsky family plot at Chevra Kaduscha in Woburn:  my great-grandmother:

Adeline Hymoff

here lies buried

our beloved mother Hadel

Ester daughter of R'Yitchak Yehoshua

died 22 Tevet 5679 (12/25/1918)

at the age of 54 years

may her soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life

Adeline KADETSKY / WATERS / HYMOFF

My great grandmother Adeline (Esther Hadel) KADETSKY was born in 1866 in Poland, we think in or near the town of Biezun in Plock Gubernia, as it seems that is where all Kadetskies originated. She emigrated to the US with her brother Abraham and his wife Shifra, Scillia or Celia, in 1879 and they lived first in NY and later in Boston.

According to Adeline and Abraham's gravestones, their father was named R'Yitchak Yehoshua.  We have no further information on  him to date.

Adeline married a man surnamed Joseph WASSERZUG and in 1885 had a son called Simon, known as SI WATERS or HYMOFF depending on the sources. She later divorced her husband and in 1889 or 1890 married my great-grandfather Israel HYMOFF. They married in a civil ceremony in 1903, I assume because she still had to finalise her civil divorce . They had five surviving children: Dora (b. 1891) , Gustave (b. 1895), Grace (b. 1898), Charlotte (b. 1903) , Sara (b. 1904), and the Boston vital records bureau has records for other Hymoffs, a baby girl who died in 1897 aged 7 months called Lena, and Rachel born in 1894 for whom no further records have been found to date but we know she didn't survive.

Hymoff children c. 1905

The civil marriage between Adeline and Israel took place in April 1903 (see above marriage record). In 1910 Israel is recorded in the census as being an imate of Rutland State Sanatorium in Massachusetts and Adeline and her children living on Magnolia Street in Boston (see census record on later post) . It gives her maiden name as Zettock, but nowhere else does that name appear, so we will just keep looking for documents. 

Adeline died on Christmas Day in the Flu Epidemic of 1918 leaving her children in the care of her oldest daughter Dora. Simon helped the family out financially, reportedly having inherited a considerable fortune from his biological father.  

Finding information on her has been quite a chore: Adeline's daughters were sad that they did not know where their mother was buried and could not visit her grave, however, we were able to find it, when we least expected to.

Adeline's brother Abraham and his wife had an extensive family and after several years of trying I was finally able to find some of his great-grandchildren and take up contact with them. We are now exchanging information and I am happy to have reconnected the family, which over the generations grew apart. We might set up a reunion one of these days, if we can agree on where on earth to do it!
