"JEWS IN MEDICINE IN RHODE ISLAND".
In the above-entitled article which appeared in these Notes in Vol.
2, November 1957, the name of Dr. Samuel Adelson of Newport was
inadvertently omitted from "Appendix A", page 183. T h e name
"Samuel Adelson 1923" should appear immediately after "Henry Weyler 1922".
Dr. Adelson who, according to all available information, was the
first Jewish physician in Newport, also enjoys the distinction of having served as President of Congregation Jeshuat Israel (Touro Synagogue) 1944-1957 and as Chairman of the Representative Council of
the City of Newport (1950-2, 1954).
"DID T H E JEWS SETTLE IN N E W P O R T IN 1658?"
We came to an affirmative conclusion in discussing this question in
our April issue. Since then, we have had occasion to examine Rhode
Island archives in response to an inquiry concerning Captain CampaSubados of Jamaica whose given and surname have various spellings
in the early records of Rhode Island. It appears that his vessel had
been seized as a prize by Captain Edward Hull who was operating under a privateering commission granted by the Island Government of
Rhode Island and sold by Governor Dyre, Collector of Port at Boston,
to Nicholas Easton who, in turn, sold the vessel to Christopher Almy.
Captain Subados petitioned the Court of Massachusetts for the return
of his vessel but the Court left the case to be heard by the Colony of
Rhode Island, a decision which was the subject of a letter from Roger
Williams to John Winthrop, Jr., dated the 15th day of the 12th month
which at that time was February, 1653. A Rhode Island jury ruled
that the vessel was no prize and on March 17, 1656 at Warwick the
Court of Commissioners awarded Almy a verdict against Nicholas
Easton for restitution of the purchase price. At Portsmouth on October 10, 1656, President Roger Williams was ordered to draw a letter
to Nicholas Easton containing the substance of the petition of Captain
Subado and ordering an accounting of prize money and issued an order against the further seizing of any vessel.
These proceedings indicate that Captain Subados operated in Rhode
Island waters from 1653 to 1658 and had personal knowledge of Roger
Williams and the virtues of the Colony of Rhode Island as a haven
of refuge. It is he who is presumed to have conveyed this knowledge
to Jews in the Barbados, who settled in Newport in 1658.
" N E W P O R T JEWISH FAMILY NAMES 1902"
In our last issue the following names of defendants in the story
"They Broke In — T o Pray" were inadvertently omitted from the
Newport Jewish Family Name List:

JEWISH
FAMILY
NAMES
B y DAVID C . ADELMAN,
ESQ.
The list for 1900, which follows, is the most accurate thus far compiled for the reason that it was possible to check with the house directory (Blue Book). Local residents will find many street names unfamiliar because many have been changed. In any event, most of them
are in the North End.
A casual perusal will disclose many a pioneer who opened u p a shop
far from the Jewish section in strange surroundings. Such pioneers
would take the long journey to market for stock and to the Jewish section for victuals, once a week.
As against a gain in the total population of the city of 23% in 1895
over 1890, that of Jewish names was 131%. In 1900, the gain in Jewish names was twice that of the total population, 42% as against 20%.
In the paper by Professor Pitterman which follows the list, Tables I,
II, and III are based upon naturalization lists found in Rhode Island
Jewish Historical Notes I, 1 pp. 11-71 June 1954 and Table IV showing Jewish family names and occupations is based upon lists found in
R. I. J. H. Notes I. pp. 72-74, 239-243, II. 86-89, 118-138, 254-282 and
III, 5-43.

SOME CASUAL OBSERVATIONS
B y D R . MARVIN
PITTERMAN,
Associate Professor of Economics
University of Rhode Island
Long before the days of the American Revolution the first Jewish
immigrants reached the shores of Rhode Island. Between 1840 and
1877, another and larger group arrived; and from 1877 to the present,
the largest contingent of all came. T h e first permanent Jewish settler
came to Providence about 1840.
Earliest immigrants to the United States came from the countries
of Europe closest to the shores of America—England, France, Spain,
Sweden, Germany and Norway. Jewish migration, into the United
States and the other Americas until after the Napoleonic Wars, was
Sephardic (Spanish-Portuguese) and the period up to 1820 bears their
stamp. Following the Napoleonic Wars, Ashkenazic Jews began their
mass migration. First came the German Jews and only later did migration occur from the poverty-stricken ghettos of eastern Europe.
Jewish migration followed the political reaction of the war period
and the transition from feudalism to capitalism. In Germany, Poland,
Austria and Russia wherein dwelt the majority of European Jewry
political reaction grew strongest. Impoverished and economically
ruined by the Wars, which for the most part had been fought in those
regions where the masses of Jews were concentrated, these countries
let loose on Jews an unremitting series of restrictions and merciless
persecutions.
In Germany, the hep-hep pogroms of 1818 and 1819 were accompanied by a malicious spread of anti-Semitic literature which called
for new restrictions and renewed expulsions. Russia in 1827 instituted
its ill-famed recruiting policy of military conscription of Jewish children for twenty-five years which meant practically conversion. Edicts
driving Jews out of the border provinces soon followed. In 1845 Poland emulated Russia by making recruitment of Jews a compulsory
enactment.
Meanwhile these countries were undergoing the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Seventeenth century Prussian kings invited

wealthy Viennese Jews to settle in Berlin to develop industry and commerce. These Jews became the biggest and ablest bankers, created
capital funds and organized foreign loans, connected Germany with
world markets and possessed the initiative in developing domestic markets. Germany in its economic development actually dictated equal
rights for Jews.
Commerce was exclusively in Jewish hands in the Russian-held provinces of Poland. Jews in many areas were the majority of the urban
population. They were the only tradesmen. Export of grain, for example, was almost exclusively managed by Jews. Thus, despite pogroms and persecutions, large Jewish communities developed in Warsaw, Odessa, Berdichev and other cities.
Along with these changes a general awakening occurred among the
Jews. Rising discontent with the status quo and a feverish search for
new opportunities led to the stream of migration.
Thus by the second half of the 19th century the Jewish masses shook
off their lethargy and went off in search of better living conditions.
The first immigrants began using this period to subsidize the later
emigrants.
During the 19th Century Jewish immigration into the United States
was made u p of two basic streams: (1) German Jewish immigrants
from 1810 to 1870 moved slowly, never very large until 1880 when it
almost completely stopped and (2) East European Jewry, which began
a little later than the Germanic, but grew intensive in the middle century and immediately after the first large wave of Russian pogroms
in 1881 and 1882 developed into great mass movements.
Despite the fact that the first important period of 19th Century
Jewish immigration into the United States was German in character,
it is well to remember other elements also were then present. Beginning in the year 1840 Jews from East European nations—Russia, Poland, Roumania, Austria, Hungary—arrived and settled in Providence.
By 1880 the East European Jews outnumbered the German Jews in
the United States. In the city of Providence in 1875 the third Orthodox Congregation, The Sons of Zion, was organized composed entirely
of East European Jews.

From Table I we observe that the earliest recorded date of entry
into the United States of a Jew naturalized in Providence County
was 1845. Of the total number naturalized by 1906, 118 or 6.8 per cent
arrived between 1845 and 1877. The largest numerical group 815 or
47 per cent entered the United States between 1885 and 1890.

Of 1718 Jews naturalized in Providence County before 1906, twelve
hundred and fifty-three or 75.5 per cent were born in Russia and forty
or 2.3 per cent were natives of Russian Poland. Next in order of origin
were Austria with 248 or 14.4 per cent; Roumania with 85 or 4.3 per
cent, followed by Germany with 66 or 3.8 per cent. One may readily
conclude that the bulk of Jewish residents of Providence were by far
of East European origin.
Table III illustrates that the bulk of Jewish immigrants became
naturalized from 1891 onward with the largest number 373 in the year
1893.

No other people among all the immigrants into the various American countries so concentrated itself in urban centers, especially in the
large cities, as did the Jews. Perhaps Jews are the most urbanized people in the world. Being overwhelmingly an urban people, the socioeconomic structure of American Jewry was concentrated in relatively
few areas of economic enterprise. Today a far greater variety of occupations are entered in primarily because Jews are no longer a people
of traders as they were in the dawn of the modern era.

*Clerk includes Bookkeepers and Salesmen, in the English sense.
Table IV shows the wide variety of occupations in which Jews of
Providence engaged. The data was compiled by David C. Adelman,
Esq., from the city directories in five year intervals (except for the year
1878) between 1850 and 1900. From five different classifications in 1850
the list grew to 50 by 1890 and 136 in 1900.
The chart shows the variety of occupations in which Jews participated in our economy. Predominantly most Jews being largely newcomers to a strange land with little or no knowledge of the English
language entered those occupations which required little capital and
previous training, which accounts for the huge numbers as peddlers
and grocers. T h e skilled trades, especially that of tailors and shoemakers, undoubtedly acquired in their native lands, required little
capital.
No doubt large numbers of German Jewish immigrants came from
the commercial class—-German Jewry had few artisans. But among
East European immigrants the percentage of artisans was certainly
higher than among the Germans. T h e first large wave of East Euro-
52
Notes
peans included very many vocationless elements without any craft
or trade.
Immediately upon arrival most immigrants had to seek a means
to earn a livelihood. Most East Europeans were poor when they first
arrived. Wandering from house to house and from farm to farm, often
with their entire stock of goods on their backs, the new immigrant
became an entrepreneur. Usually the simplest commerce was transacted. Peddlers required little capital. Through ability and hard
work a slight margin of return was obtained. At first they carried
trade to other immigrants, then to other residents of cities. Farmers
welcomed them because they had some money to spend but little
opportunity to travel to distant cities. By industry and energetic
courage the peddler overcame obstacles of poverty, strange language,
and natural suspicion of unknown foreigners. Many bought a horse
and wagon to carry on their economic activities, then later opened a
general store, or a grocery, dry goods, shoe, clothing, or hardware
emporium.
Among the East European immigrants were many without craft or
trade as a calling. In this enormous mass of vocationless lower middle
class the percentage of intellectuals was negligble. This tiny group
of educated souls who had reaped the harvest of a good "heder" or
even studied Talmud or attended a Yeshiva became the nucleus in
producing the modern intellectuals who became the leaders of the
Jewish community. Their influence was enormous.
Apparently the earliest settlers in Providence up to 1870 had a fair
amount of capital since only three individuals listed "peddler" as
their occupation. The others were primarily merchants in clothing,
cigars, tobacco, hoisery, lace goods and millinery. Of skilled craftsmen,
tailoring predominated with only one bookkeeper, one hairdresser,
three cap makers, one shoemaker. By 1854 the community had a
Chazan but did not acquire a Rabbi until 1877.

as he acquired more capital opened a variety store which led usually
to a second-hand clothing store and finally to a high quality shoppe.
Rather early we had Jews in Providence who listed occupations
which are considered unique or foreign to Jews. For example, by 1895,
there was a bartender, two billiard and pool room operators, a horse
dealer, longshoreman, mason, moulder and plumber.
As early as 1878 one Julius Horwitz who boarded at 157 Friendship
Street listed his occupation as advertising agent. I n 1885, the first
lawyer, Daniel W . Fink, occupied an office o n the third floor of 15 Butler Exchange. T h e medical profession appeared in 1878 with Bernard
Cohen as physician and Harry Fellman, an optician. T h e first junk
dealer does not arrive until 1885 but that year also brought a Jewish
artist. I n 1890, the editor of the Pawtucket Times, J. Jacob Rosenfeld,
resided in Providence.
Few went into manufacturing. T h e immigrant saw no opportunity
for advancement as a laborer and while a capitalist called for a
surplus for investment. However, many did become proprietors of
small establishments- in the retail trades as clothing and tailoring.
It is rather interesting to note that by 1905 of thirty-four Jewish
residents in Bristol, twelve were rubber workers. Undoubtedly, the
Colt's Indian Rubber Company attracted them.
In analyzing the economy of our nation at no time was there an
independent Jewish economy apart from the general economy of the
country. Jews in Providence engaged in the typical occupations urban
communities require and provide. In the earliest period, Jews were
primarily shopkeepers, men with some capital. As the city grew and
prospered, in addition to operators of small retail establishments,
many Jews were skilled craftsmen, especially in varied forms of the
needle trade as tailors, milliners or cap makers. Many newly-arrived
immigrants began as peddlers. As capital accumulated, a few like
Myer Cohen in 1890 opened a variety store i n addition to peddling.
T h e development of Rhode Island as jewelry center attracted many
Jews to this endeavor. By 1900, as new industries developed, for
example, we had a telephone operator. It is interesting to note
that by 1880, Providence had a Jewish librarian, a book dealer, a
54
Notes
piano dealer (1895), editor (1890), four professional musicians,
and fourteen teachers by 1900; all evidence of the entrance into more
cultural activities.
T h e extent and variety of occupations by 1900 engaged in by Jews
merely was a foreshadowing of their further extension as Jews became
more Americanized and profited from the educational and cultural
opportunities opened to them. As Providence developed into a manufacturing, trade and commercial center, its Jewish inhabitants began
to participate in a greater variety of occupations and became a vital
and integral part of the economy.

JEWISH CEMETERIES
(BETH CHAYIM) 1
Jewish communities, in the early days o£ their existence, generally
manage to get along without a specially designated house of worship.
When there is need for public prayer, the people gather in a home
where they pray. But when death comes, hallowed ground must be
bought to bury the dead. And so generally in the history of the Jewish
community, the acquisition of a burial ground precedes the purchase
of a site for a synagogue. Newport and Providence were no exceptions
to this rule. T h e Newport cemetery deed for the use of the "Jews and
their Nation, Society or Friends" is dated 1677; the T o u r o Synagogue
was dedicated in 1763, almost a century later.
RESERVOIR AVENUE
CEMETERY2
In Providence such a parcel was conveyed in September, 1849 to
Solomon Pareira, Leonard Gavitts [Garits] and Morris Steinberg.
It was located in the Town of Cranston on the Providence and New
London Turnpike (Reservoir Avenue) described as containing one
acre by estimation. In June of 1857, Solomon Pareira, alone, conveyed
this lot to the Congregation of the Sons of Israel "as and for a cemetery for the burial of the members of said Congregation Sons of Israel
and for no other purpose forever". Witnesses to this deed were A.
Wormser and J. R. [Hershorn]. It would appear from the record
thus far that the interest of Leonard Gavitts and Morris Steinberg
are still outstanding, but a close examination of this deed reveals
that this was the same lot of land conveyed to Pareira by Haswill by
deed dated October 18, 1849 whereas the deed from Haswill to the
three, Pareira, Gavitts and Steinberg, was dated September 10, 1849.
Most likely, a reconveyance was made to Haswill who in turn, reconveyed the lot to Pareira alone between September 10 and October
18, 1849. These deeds were not recorded.
T h e first burial in this cemetery was that of Solomon Cook, the
Vice-President of the Congregation of the Sons of Israel (B'nai
Israel) in 1859. T h e Congregation mistook the boundaries of the
land conveyed and made burials on adjoining land not owned by
them as appears in a deed recorded February 6, 1895 from Josiah H.
Whitman to Congregation Sons of Israel and David which recites:
iFor list of burials see R.I.J.H. Notes 1:247-261, 2:20.
2R.I.J.H. Notes 1:245.

". . . whereas said Congregation by mistake inclosed a lot of
land and commenced a cemetary on land owned by this
grantor. Now, Therefore, this deed is the fulfillment made
between this grantor and the said grantee to convey to it the
lot of land inclosed and occupied by said grantee as a cemetary which was located by mistake upon him, the said grantor's
land and also to convey to said grantee other land adjoining
said lot." 3
This happy solution of the dilemma in which the Congregation found
itself was achieved because of the high regard in which Henry Green,
President of the Congregation, was held in the community. There
is a sketch attached to this deed which shows that the original lot
conveyed to Solomon Pareira in 1849 contained 11,000 square feet
and the adjoining lot conveyed by Whitman contained 13,510 square
feet, the two parcels combined containing about one-half an acre.
T h e fence which enclosed the original lot was donated by Jacob R.
Hershorn, the first Secretary and Treasurer of the Congregation
(1854) and the son-in-law of Solomon Pareira, its first President.
MOSHASSUCK C E M E T E R Y
978 Lonsdale Avenue
Lonsdale-Central Falls
Chazan Abraham Jacobs in 1870 organized the Congregation Sons
of David which purchased a plot of land in this cemetery in the Town
of Lincoln (now Central Falls) on December 31, 1870. This Congregation merged with the Congregation of the Sons of Israel in 1874
under the corporate name "Congregation of the Sons of Israel and
David". Thereafter the Moshassuck Cemetery plot was used by the
Congregation of the Sons of Israel and David for the burial of nonmembers, relatives of members and for charitable cases. Jacob Dimond,
father of Leopold Dimond, was originally buried in this cemetery
plot in 1878 but in 1884 his body was reinterred in the "proper
cemetery" of the Congregation at its expense. In 1885, Louis Green
requested permission to bury his father-in-law, Abraham Jacobs, in
the Congregation cemetery. Permission was granted for burial in
"Elmwood" (Reservoir Avenue) for the sum of $100 or in Moshassuck Cemetery for the sum of $30. He was buried in Moshassuck
58
Notes
Cemetery. In 1892, the Congregation voted to provide a burial place
in the Elmwood Burying Ground (Reservoir Avenue) for the burial
of members of the Congregation and members of their families.
From 1870 to 1897, the Jewish community was considerably enlarged by a great influx of East European Jews, who had organized
at least seven traditional Congregations as well as many fraternal
and trade societies. These organizations purchased plots in the northwest section of the Moshassuck Cemetery, contiguous to each other,
for the burial of their members as follows:

Notes
T h e Cemetery of the Congregation Sons of Zion in Lincoln Park
was not yet available when Joseph Saul Rabinowitz died in 1893 and
so he was buried in Moshassuck Cemetery. A brick vault over his
grave has been removed and the door to the vault now constitutes
the monument over his grave, upon which is engraved the following
inscription.
"The very stone cries out from the wall (see Hab. 2:11) —
Joseph is no longer (See Gen. 37:29) —
He left alas this life—
Returned before he grew old—
He went up to Heaven—
But his spirit still lives in our midst—
And his deeds will ever bring him to remembrance—
Each will work to make his presence known—
From afar to live here his feet brought him—
Whenever his brethren sought him in the house of God they found
him—
There he taught Torah, spreading knowledge, drawing after him
twin camps—4
Morning and evening, out of his abundant knowledge of Torah he
taught Talmud and Mishna—
In the presence of companies of men he set forth the lore of the twins
of a gazelle (Cf Song 4:5) 5
At the sound of his voice men gathered and held counsel upon the
Foundation Stone—
How great are his deeds, his glory and his constancy.
May his memory be for blessing and his reward be very great.
He is the distinguished Scholar, descendant of a noble family, scion of martyrs,
our Master Joseph Saul son of Rabbi Hayyim
Rabinowitz, whose memory is a blessing, of
the City of Krakinovo. He went to his eternal rest on the Sixteenth of Mar-Heshvan, in
5654, Anno Mundi, in the reckoning of centuries."

LIMEROCK
( T O W N OF LINCOLN)
On September 15, 1894, George F. Jencks, Administrator of the
estate of Nathaniel Jenckes, sold to Meyer Potoshinsky, the highest
bidder, at public auction for the sum of $825.00, ten acres of land on
the easterly side of Wilbur Road, in Limerock, as trustee for
Providence Lodge No. 143 O. B. A.
Congregation Sons of Zion
Baron Hirsh Lodge No. 99 O B. A.
Roumanian Cong. Azedeth Zedek.
It will be observed that these organizations already owned plots in
the Moshassuck Cemetery.
On May 17, 1895, a charter was issued to:
Myer Potoskinsky [Potoshinsky], Paul Newman,
David Coplan, Leon Selberman, Max Schorr,
George Davis, Joel Radynsky, Amos Smolonsky,
Harry Goldsmith, Joseph Hotchmer, Solomon Chernik,
Abr. Horovitz, Simon Jersky, Simon Goldsmith,
Laser Lifshitz, Barnet Fine, Laser Urban, Mathias
Karmen, Abr. Biedeberg, Jacob Bergman
under the name of "United Hebrew Cemetery Association" for the
purpose of establishing and maintaining a cemetery near the village
of Limerock, in the Town of Lincoln—not exceeding 50 acres. The
organization of this Association is an indication of the growth of the
community. However, Limerock in the Town of Lincoln was considered too far away from the Jewish community of Providence.
After Barnet Fain acquired land in Hillsgrove, Town of Warwick,
the Roumanian Aghedath Zedeck, by Jacob Abramowitz, Adolph
Aronovitz and Charles Zunckerman conveyed its interest in the land
in Limerock to Louis Feiner in October of 1896 and in 1898 Feiner,

L I N C O L N P A R K , HILLSGROVE ( T O W N OF W A R W I C K )
On August 11, 1896, Barnet Fain of Providence purchased 6.65 acres
of land in Warwick, in the village, now known as Lincoln Park, Hillsgrove. In April of 1897, he conveyed a small piece of land to the
"Congregation of Aguat Hackulal" (Agudath Hakolel) and on July 6,
1897, he conveyed a piece of land to the "Congregation Ahawat Shalum", [Ahavath Sholom], reciting a conveyance of another piece to
"The Shoemakers Association". On May 7, 1902, Fain conveyed the
remainder of the land to "The Congregation Sons of Zion".
In 1898, the Congregation of "Aguat Hachulal" [Agudath Hakolel]
conveyed its land to "Russian Congregation of Agudar Hackolel"
[Agudath Hakolel]. The Congregation of the Sons of Zion made additional purchases of adjoining land in 1899 and in 1904 and in 1905
conveyed a piece of land to "The Lovers of Brothers of Said Providence".
In 1910, "Congregation Awath [Ahavath] Achim of the City of Slawuta" by Joseph Garfinkel, President, Louis Rudman, Vice-President,
Louis Mover, Secretary, and Samuel Marner, Treasurer, made a conveyance to "Russian Congregation of Israel", reciting that the conveyance in 1905 to "The Lovers of Brothers of Said Providence" was a
free translation of the name of the "Congregation Awath [Ahavath
Achim] of the City of Slawuta". Garfinkel, Rudman and Marner
signed the deed by mark. T h e deed of 1905 was not recorded until
November 11, 1909. In the Fain deed to the Congregation Sons of
Zion in 1902, Fain signed his name in Hebrew and besides the conveyance to the Providence Shoemakers Association, the deed recited
that there had been conveyance of a portion of the land to "Congregation Lenard Azedeck". The deed to the Congregation of the Sons
of Jacob is signed by Vice-President Isaac Solomon of the Congregation Sons of Zion:7
