This Benjamin GABEL, born around 1835, was the son of Jakob and Laja GABEL.
He is the greatgreatgrandfather of Moshe Pakman from Israel.


There is a second Benjamin GABEL, born around 1846, son of Majer GABEL  He is buried in Row 7, Grave 15. 

Could the two have been cousins, named after a common ancestor who died before 1835?

There is Rifka GABEL nee BODENSTEIN who lived from around 1840 to October 1915.
My theory is that she is the wife of Simche Benjamin who is buried here, and that the second Benjamin GABEL is buried next to his wife.


May 2016:
From a list dated Feb 20th 1861  of people living in Lubaczow at that time, there is "Benjamin GABEL, Kaufmann (merchant)". As there are two persons named Benjamin Gabel - one born around 1848 and this one born in 1835 - the merchant must be the Benjamin GABEL buried here.
