Notes	“From the town of Rawa Ruska”. She was born around 1889. This is the grave of the maternal grandmother of Erela Goldschmidt ( 1942 – 2001) . It was in order to find this grave  I started to do this cemetery survey. The family name is NOT on the gravestone. Identification through family research.

When a young person dies, you wonder if it was sudden death in an accident or some illness / medical problem.
What points to a medical problem that persisted for some time in this case, is the following story:

Before Reisel Weinrath died, Joe Reinfeld (originally from Lubaczow, but who had become an American citizen in 1919 and lived in Newark)  had visited her and promised that he would care for her little daughter Necha Nella  who was nearly five at the time. He probably sent dollars every year, because when the daughter was still studying at the high school in Jaworow around 1937/1938 and wanted to go to Lwow to buy clothes for that money, it was Regina LANDAU nee HILFERDING, born in Lwow,  who sent  Nella to her brother Norbert HILFERDING "because he knew all about clothes and fashion in Lwow". This is how Necha Nella and Norbert got to know each other and then married.

Another piece in the puzzle:
In 1923 Reisel gave birth to a little daughter named Rachel Cwetel  - not in Lubaczow,perhaps in her home town Rawa Ruska?  Little Rachel died at the age of three and a half months in Lubaczow. Could it be that Reisel  died from complications from the child birth?

But back to Joe Reinfeld.
Acccording to the Ellis Island records,  he went back from Southampton in England to New York on March 5th 1924. So that promise to Reisel WEINRATH must have been given in February 1924, a month or more before she died.
