Notes:

On his Russian Internal Passport and Army Discharge papers they indicated his height was judged by sight to be 2 arshine 3.

There are 16 vershoks in one arshine and that one vershok is about 4.445 cm or 1.75 inches.
2 arshines plus 3 vershoks comes to 61-1/4 inches or 5 feet 1-1/4 inches.

On his naturalization papers his height is indicated to be 5 feet 4 inches.


1897 All Russian Census indicated that he was living with his family at house number 10 on Dvoryanskaya Street, Rezekne. The house was wooden and covered by wood and there was only one dwelling in the house.

The census indicated that he was 17 years old, born and registered in Rezekne, literate, learned in Jewish people school, at father, trade assistant in the shop of iron.

September 9, 1927, Nathan, Abe's twin brother, obtained a birth certificate indicating that they were born on March 2, 1880, sons of Rezekne citizen, Genech Girsh Leizerov Gurvitch and his wife Basheva. Two sons were born, Aba-Rafael and Nota.

Birth:
The official birth record gives his birthdate as March 2, 1880

Abe married Rose Segal in 1918 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA. Rose (daughter of Shmuel-Itskhok Sagalovich and Shoshe Levin) was born on 13 Nov 1893 in Rakov, Minsk, Belarus; died on 3 May 1945 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA; was buried on 7 May 1945 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

He was a coal miner, a union leader and later in life a carpinter and general contractor. According to his daughter Mary Lois Peck he invented some gizmo which helped the coal miners tremendously. She says he was creative, and very good at math.



Per death certificate signed by Red J. Evans, MD, dated 3 Sep 1963, he died at age 66 at the Vermillion Co Hospital on 29 Aug 1963. Cause of death - Coronary Occlusion. He was taken to Frist's Funeral Home in Clinton, IN and buried on 30 Aug 1963 at the Riverside cemetery in Clinton, IN. His death is recorded in book No. 4 Page 9 Certi. No. 41.



In a note to some of her cousins, Susan Richter-Beckley, wrote on 13 May 2007:
Bonny, you may remember his two-toned green Pontiac panel truck. That was his vehicle for all his travels in those years. The inside of it smelled like Geritol and dog food. He kept hunting dogs in Clinton. When his health began to fail, he went back to Clinton and stayed.

I knew what Geritol smelled like because he used to drink it in the house, too. It was gross.
He'd come visit us and stay for about 3 weeks each time. My mother used to say she couldn't get anything done while he was there, but she never shooed him out of the kitchen, where he would sit all day talking and talking and talking. And drinking coffee and rolling cigarettes and smoking And talking. That's how I got to know him some, because while he was talking, I was listening. I wish I could remember more of what he said, but it's been a long time.

(Note from Dave Howard: For those of you who are too young to remember, Geritol was a much-advertised elixir for older people. Its combination of vitamins and other healthy items restored youthful vim and vigor.)

In a note to some of her cousins on 14 May 2007, Susan Sladden wrote:

I was only 7 years old when Roy died but all these things that Susan has said here seems accurate to me. The way I understood things was that once my mother [Joan Wilma Peck] married my father and they moved with my mother's son, Tom, to Georgia, Roy left Lois. My mother never moved out of her parent's home until then, (except when she lived with her half sister, Miki/Mildred, until Lois and Roy followed to FL). So she was 25 when she married my dad and they moved away for him to go to seminary college in Decatur, GA. Tom was nearly 6 years old by then and had of course, lived with my mom and her parents. After they left, there was no one left in the house but Lois and Roy and I don't think they were ever too crazy about each other.

In the 4 years that we (my mom became immediately pregnant with me), were away from FL, I don't think that Lois ever visited us in GA, AL or VA. Roy did though. I think he best understood my mother and her problems and when she was in a good mental state, he greatly enjoyed her company. He was also very close always to Tom who at some point began taking him for weeks at a time during the summers to go hunting, etc. I remember his old station wagon also as he came to stay with us at least several times a year, primarily to care for my mom. Jimmy and Janet did this also.


Died:
Per death certificate signed by Red J. Evans, MD, dated 3 Sep 1963, he died at age 66 at the Vermillion Co Hospital on 29 Aug 1963. Cause of death - Coronary Occlusion. He was taken to Frist's Funeral Home in Clinton, IN and buried on 30 Aug 1963 at the Riverside cemetery in Clinton, IN. His death is recorded in book No. 4 Page 9 Certi. No. 41.

Roy married Margaret Maria Senter on 11 Jun 1914 in Paris, Illinois. Margaret (daughter of William Henry Senter and Mary Emaline Deal) was born on 23 Aug 1895 in Asherville, Clay County, Indiana, USA; died on 20 Jun 1926 in Clinton, Vermillion County, Indiana. [Group Sheet]

Per Aunt Lydia Bell, Margeret Miria Senter Peck born 23 May 1895, at Asherville, IN.

Notes:

According to Aunt Bessie, her father was in the timber business, where they cut the trees and floated them down the river. She said he was in business with his father and his brothers and that they were well off.

She said her father's family was originally from Moscow. I had assumed this was Moscow, Russia. However, I have discovered that there is a district in Riga along the edge of the river named Moscow and it was an area occupied by Jewish people. They would gather up the timber that had been floated down the river.

Riga is not on the Baltic Sea but on the banks of the River Daugava and was a major export center for timber. Ships came from Briton so freqently there was a large Church of England cathedral in Riga for the crews. Ships also came from France to pick up wood.

The Daugava was a very important river that served as a gateway to Central Europe from the Baltic Sea. The Swedes at one time had a major presence in Easter Europe and controlled the Baltics. They viewed access to the Daugava as strategic.

Today the Daugava defines a portion of the border between the countries of Latvia and Lithuania. The second largest city in Latvia is Daugavpils which is a key inland port on this river. When this area was part of Russia the city was named Dvinsk and had a very substantial Jewish population.

Daugavpils is about half way between the very important city of Vilnius, Lithuania about 100 miles to the south. Vilnius was known as Vilna during the era of Polish and Russian dominance and was the capital of the Jewish sub-Polish state in the Lithuanian region. The city was governed by Jews.

Today Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania but has only a tiny Jewish population as a result of the very effective extermination of Jewish people in the Baltic region during World War II.

About 100 miles to the north of Daugavpils lies the city of Rezekne, the capital of the Latgale Region, also a city with a large Jewish population. Our family comes from Rezekne but they clearly had Horwitz relatives in Daugavpils and Riga to carry out their very important timber business.

He married again and Bessie did not get along with her new step-mother. Her family was living in Latvia.
Bessie did not know the name of the first wife. She had died many years before. Bessie was the daughter of the second wife who she said was Basheva Yaffa.
Bessie explained that the family paid for their relocation to America by working and saving. They also sold the family home and cows. They settled up with their step-mother and used what was left to go to Chicago.
Bob Schwartz has Bertha Louria as the wife of Henoch Hirsh. This is something we will have to work on.
The 1897 census stated that he was literate that he had been educated in the parish school and that the was etiher a flax merchant or timber merchant. Aleksandrs said it was difficult to read the text and there is only a sight difference between the way the two words are spelled. He though flax merchant might be a better translation. However, wood merchant would be consistent with what Aunt Bessie said his business was.

They were residing in a single family dwelling at house 10 on Dvoryanskaya Street in Rezekne, Latvia. The house was wooden and covered with wood.

He was apparently a hard working, wealthy, soft spoken (never used strong language)man. He was in business with his father and brothers. Their family was known for their financial success in the lumber business. Dave Howard Aug 2004.


Name:
According to the 1897 All Russia census taken in the Rezekne area his name was listed as Gurevitch Genoch Girshev. The Girshev is the patronymic for son of Hirsch. Our researcher, Aleksandrs Feigmanis, notes that this is an error.

The Rezekne vital records entry at July 5, 1882, recording the birth of their son, Yeruchim (Reuben), shows his name correctly as Genoch-Girch Gurvitch, son of Getzel-Leizer Gurvitch. His wife was shown as Baseva, daughter of Morduch.

Because of all the different languages spoken and written in this region of the world the same name is written in many different ways in the official records. They are all the same name:

His first name was Henoch, Genoch, Henech, Genech they are all variations of the Bible prophet Enoch (English).

His second name was Hirsch, Hirsh, Girsh which are all versions of the same word meaning stag deer.

Dave Howard
Aug 2007

His last name was Gurevitch, Gurvitch, Gurevich, Hurwitsch, Horwitz, Horowitz

Birth:
In the Rezekne Family List he is shown as 59 in 1896 which would make the year of birth 1838 which agrees with Aunt Bessie information.

Henoch married Basheva/Basseva Joffe about 1879 in Rezekne, Latgale, Latvia. Basheva/Basseva (daughter of Morduch Joffa) was born in 1857 in Druya, Disna District, Belarus; died about 1904; was buried in Horwitz Family Residence, Rezekne, Latgale, Latvia. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

My guess is that when they did the Rezekne Family List they only had the first and last wife and left out the middle wife. This will have to be verified.

Birth:
Her first children (twin sons) were born in 1880 and her last children (twin daughters) were born in 1896. My guess is that she was probably born about 1857. She would have been 23 in 1880 and 39 in 1896. She apparently died a few years after giving birth to the twin daughters.(Dave Howard, Jul 2004)

Name:
The Rezekne Family List shows her name as Brocha, daughter of Jankel and Second wife of Genech.She is shown as 45 in 1909 leading to a birth year of 1864. Could Brocha have been the third wife?

Bessie Horwitz gave her mother's name as Basheva.

Died:
She died some time before Bessie left Rezekne because Henoch remmaried and had a third wife by the time she had left about 1908. We are using 1904 as an estimate. It is also assumed that she was burried in Rezekne. (Dave Howard, Jul 2004)

Notes:

When he came to Chicago in the 1920's he lived with his daughter Sara and her husband Max. He did not always have a pleasant personality. He was bad tempered. Max was always kind to him. Max was one of his few friends and he really liked Max.

He would send money to his wife Sosha to buy a ticket to come to Chicago. She would spend the money on other things and never come.

He was an upholsterer. He developed Bell's palsy and went back to Rakov in 1927 to be with his wife.


Name:
When he lived in Chciago he used the name of Isaac Segal. The name on his tombstone in Hebrew is Shmuel-Itskhok Sagalowitch son of Tvsi. The character alef could be translated as either an "A" or "O" so the name could be Sagalawitch or Sogolowitch. The family names used in the Minsk area were either Sagalovitch or Segalovitch. The more common surname in Rakov was Segalovitch. Accordingly, I am going with Segalovitch for now.

The tombestone shows his father's name as Tvsi which is the Hebrew word for deer. However, according to Alexander Baider, he probably never heard that name used. He would have been called the more common Yiddish word for deer, Hirsh. Since Isaac named one of his sons Hirsh it is likely this son was born after his grandfather's death and was named for his grandfather.

Birth:
His tombstone says he was 72 years old at the time of his death that would make the year of his birth 1862.

Died:
The tombstone says that he died on the 29th day of Tevet in the year 5694 or January 16, 1934.

Shmuel-Itskhok married Shoshe Levin in Rakov, Minsk, Belarus. Shoshe (daughter of Jacob Levin) was born about 1860 in Rakov, Minsk, Belarus; died on 15 Aug 1930 in Rakov, Minsk, Belarus. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Here is the translation of the tombstone, photo is attached. The Translation is Line By Line:
Here Lies
A Virtuous Woman
Precious - satisfied - warm daughter - with character
Our dearly beloved mother
Mrs. Shoshe (Susanna from Bible or Sophie)
SAGALOWITCH - We are using SAGALOVICH
Daugher of Ya'akov
She lived 70 years and died
21 AV 5690 (15 Aug 1930)
The photo was taken in Rakov, Minsk, Belarus


Name:
The death certificate for her daughter Rose gave her name as Shophie Lee. However, Lee is not a very likely surname. I spoke directly with Alexander Beider about this. He indicated that the most common Jewish last name in the area that started with the Lee sound was Lewin (Levine). This is the more likely last name. We will have to keep our eyes peeled for more information. Dave Howard, July 2005.

I buttonholed Alexander Beider at the Jewish Genealogy Conference in Las Vegas in 2005 and asked him what name Lee might have really been. He pointed out that there was a Jewish person with the last name Lee who won the Nobel Prize. However, he thinks it is most likely her name was Levin since that was such a common surname in the Minsk area.

Therefore, I have decided to show her name as Levin.
Dave Howard - June 2006

From Alexander Beider's book A Dictionary of Ashkenazic Given Names I have extracted this information under the name Shoshane from the biblical Shin-Vav-Shin-Nun-Heh which in English is Susan. The name is derived from the identical Hebrew common noun meaning lily. This was not a common Ashkeazic gven name and was more commonly used by Christians.

Shoshane is the standar Yiddish form of the name however Shoshe was commonly used in 19th century Belorussia.

Notes:

According to Claude Edgar Peck, his father Claude Emerson Peck, worked at blast furnaces
until he was 19 yrs. old and then worked in the coal mines in and around Clay, Parke and
Vigo counties, IN, until coming to Vermillion County, IN., except some of the early years of his
married life when he was a pump repairman on the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad. He
was an engineer and pilot on the Wabash river boats from Clinton on the north down to
Memphis, Tenn. on the south and held license for the same from the U.S. Goverment. They
moved to Clinton in 1903. He as a mine boss for the Clinton Coal Co. His last work was for the
Miami Coal Co. as hoisting Engineer. Later he owned and operated two grocery stores before
his death. He could make anything he wanted, either wood or metal and was a good carpenter and
a fair civil engineer though not having went farther than the second reader in school.

William married Mary Emaline Deal on 15 Feb 1880 in Clay City, Clay County, Indiana, USA. Mary (daughter of Isaac Wiseman Deal and Mary Jane Jones) was born on 27 Feb 1864 in Asherville, Clay County, Indiana, USA; died on 13 May 1919 in Perth, Indiana, USA; was buried in Perth Cemetery, Perth, Clay, Indiana, USA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Census for Washington Township, Putnam County, Indiana there is a family with the father Isaac Deal age 32, occupation RR Hand; mother is Jane age 34 and two children Daniel age 8 and Mary age 4. This would indicate that Mary was born about 1866.

In the 1880 Census for Springfield Township, LaGrange County, Indian there is a family with the father Elisha Deal age 50, a farmer; the mother is Catherine age 43 and one child, a daughter Mary E age 16. This would indicate that Mary E was born about 1864. This record was found by our relative Karen Mills of Indianapolis. I found it on Ancestry.com.

Springfield, LaGrange County, Indiana is almost at the northern border of the State of Indiana and east of South Bend. It is about 255 miles from Putnam County. I believe that the Mary E of LaGrange is not our Mary. I believe the correct family is the Isaac Deal family of Putnam County were all our other relatives came from.

Notes:

Birth:
She is listed as 78 in 1896

Died:
She is shown as 78 in 1896 so I am assuming she died after 1896 and I am also assuming that she died right there in Rezekne. This is all still to be proven.

Notes:

In the All Lithuania Revision List Database there is an entry with the date 23 Oct 1850 for the town of Druja, Uyezd of Disna, Guberniya of Vilnius for Mordukh IOFA son of Ayzyk age 17, indicating a birth year of 1833.

Name:
Brocha is shown as the second wife of Genech and her father's name is shown as Jankel. There could be another wife. Jankel is an alternative name for this fellow.

Other Events:

• Jewish Name: Rakov, Belarus; Zvi or Tzvi ??? - Hebrew for stag deer same as Hirsch which is German for stag deer

Notes:

Name:
His son's tombstone says that the father's name is Tsvi. Beider says that Tsvi is a name created by Jews from the Hebrew common noun meaning deer as a calqu of the Yiddish name Hirsh. * * * All Jews having Tsvi as their shem ha-godesh were called in everyday life by their kinnui, Hirsh, Hersh or Herts, which also means deer in German (Yiddish).

Hirsch married Unknown. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

His name comes from the tombstone for Samuel-Isaac Sogolowitch

Notes:

His daughter Sophie's tombstone says that she was the daughter of Ya'akov (Jacob). Rose Segal's death certificate states that her mother's name was Sophie Lee. Accordingly, for now we will use Jacob Lee as his name.

Other Events:

• Lived: 17 Sep 1850, Bloomington Township, Muscatine, Iowa, USA; From US Census Record
• Resided: 1866, Salem, Indiana, USA; There was a watchmaker retailer named Daniel W. Peck assessed about $59 in income tax in Salem, Indiana
• Lived: 1870, Terra Haute, Vigo County, Indiana, U.S.A.; Some time between 1860 when he lived in Jackson, Ohio and 1880 when he was living in Helena, Arkansas with a new family he brought his family to Terre Haute, Indiana area and was a coal miner.

Notes:

Claude Edgar Peck wrote: When I was about 15 years old [abt 1900], Grandfather, Daniel Webster Peck, visited us at Ehrmandale, [Vigo County], Indiana. His home at that time was at Helena, Arkansas and he told me of my forefathers, Peter Beck of Penn. Dutch. There were several families of Beck's and the mail would get mixed up, so Peter went to the court house and asked that his name be changed. The Judge asked him if Peck would do. Peter say "Yaw, dot is alright." So there is the beginning of our name.

Daniel seemed to have lived in a world of hyperbole as can been seen by the different stories he told the census takers over the years.

The Peck family is from England and they started by settling first in Providence, RI. -- Dave Howard 2022

I went to Jackson, Ohio and visited the property where he and Amanda had a home. He was listed at a clock repairman at that time. Jackson was famous for its wood fired steel making blast furnace.

Peck, Daniel
No birth date, d. 11 July, 1907


In 1880 Federal Census for Helena, Phillips, Arkansas, D.W. Peck age 42, born about 1838 in Iowa was living with his wife May age 23. He said his father and mother were both born in Iowa. We was a brick mason. Others in the household were Suson McIntoush age 20, Winie Powell 2 and Heue Smith 9.

Daniel married Amanda J. Gillespie on 14 May 1854 in Jackson, Jackson County, Ohio. Amanda (daughter of William Gillespie and Martha Dryer) was born about 1837 in Gallia County, Ohio, USA; died on 5 Jan 1891 in Terra Haute, Vigo County, Indiana, U.S.A.; was buried in Highland Lawn Cemetery, Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana, USA. [Group Sheet]

Other Events:

• Lived: 1866, Salem, Indiana, USA; According to Tax Records Daniel Webster Peck was in Salem, Indiana in 1866. I have assumed his family was with him. Dave Howard Aug 2009

Notes:

Birth:
Some family members say she was born in Jackson, Ohio where she was living in 1860 with Daniel Webster Peck and other Gillespies in town.

The family tree researchers have her brothers and sisters born in Gallia, Ohio. They show her as the daughter of Alexander Gillespie and Martha.

In the census record in Terre Haute her mother Martha was living with her. A family member says the Terre Haute obituary for Martha said she was the widow of William. The family members who show her married to William also have a last name for Martha of Dryer.

The more I look at the family history of Alexander Gillespie the less I feel he was the correct spouse. I am leaving him as William. However, I feel it is likely she may have been born in another city in Ohio other than Jackson. I have left her birth place as Gallia. I am not at all sure this is correct. I would appreciate any comments on this.

As far as I can tell from talking with various older relatives, Daniel never did divorce Amanda, he ran away to Arkansas and was never heard of for years and years. When his daughters were adults and Amanda was dead he did return to Indiana for a brief visit. Dave Howard

Notes:

In a letter from Lydia Bell Senter Hawthorne to her niece, Mary Lois Peck Howard, she states:

"Dear Mary, thought you would like to know about your great-grandfather, my father's father [James Harvey Senter (1820-1900)]. He was a wonderful man. He and Grandmother [Mariah M. Baker (1823-1910) made their home with us [in Asherville, IN] when I was a small girl, 10 to 12 years old. He was a Baptist Minister and in his old days he was a shoe cobbler. He mended all the children's shoes in the little village of Asherville. I used to stand beside his chair many days and watch him. and hand him the little wooden pegs he used to fix the shoes. His hair was as white as snow and he wore it real short, guess now days you'd call it a crew cut, so beautiful. He went to church every Sunday.

I sure did have a beautiful childhood, everybody doing so many interesting things. Grandfather owned a farm in Kentucky and he said there was a silver mine on it. When the Civil War was on the North and South he lost all he had and came North. He had a map of the silver mine but some how it was lost he told my father and his boys to go find it. But they never did, so I guess it is still there. Bro. Frank went down 2 years ago. But I guess he didn?t find out much about it he knows the town in Kentucky so when I see him again, I?ll ask him and write and tell you.

In those days, Kentucky was far far away from us. No way to get there only by horse and buggy or train."

Notes:

In a letter from Lydia Bell Senter Hawthorne to her niece, Mary Lois Peck Howard, she states:

"Grandmother [Mariah M. Baker (1823-1910)] was a carpet weaver and had a large room there in our lot and a big, big, large loom made of shined wood. I used to fill the shuttle with the carpet rags for her. She sewed the carpet; 25 yards covered a room from wall to wall. She had to cut it and sew it all together and get straw and put it under it all colors and kind of checker board or striped, had to wrap the chain on stretchers. Was very interesting, when I was 14 years old, mother bought our first imported wool carpet and velvet couch. Gee, I thought we were rich.

I sure did have a beautiful childhood, everybody doing so many interesting things.

Grandmother often told me George Washington was her cousin. She came from Virginia her maiden name was Baker. In those days, Kentucky was far far away from us. No way to get there only by horse and buggy or train."
