HAHN SCHAFFNER 04 Feb 1859 in Cleveland, OH.
Notes for MICHAEL SCHAFFNER:
Very little is known about Michael today, as all the descendants of his
second wife are deceased, and the descendants of his first wife were apparently
estranged from him when he left Elizabeth, known as Lina, to
marry Amelia Hahn. It is said that he spent some time in England after
leaving Germany and before coming to the US. His children by his first
wife, who belonged to a temple in Cleveland, remained in Cleveland. His
children by his second wife established closer connections with Joseph
Schaffner (founder of Hart, Schaffner and Marx) in Chicago.

Gabriel was first of Michael Schaffner's sons to emigrate, settling in

woman. Both much respected in the community. Kept in close touch with
Hessloch family and friends (e.g. Herzogs, later Hartzells) in Girard
and Youngstown, OH. Brought Morris Schaffner, his nephew, to this
country, who was called Dutch Morris (to distinguish him from Gabriel's
son Morris), who moved to Erie, PA. His wife Clara lived into her 80's.
Picture taken at her 80th birthday dinner (1923) gives us a record of
most Cleveland and Erie family members then living.

was born 1859, and died 09 Feb 1902 in Cincinnati, OH.

the business of men's shirts (like his cousin Morris Schaffner in
Cleveland). He was one of the early settlers who donated land for the
United Jewish Cemetery in Cincinnati. He was also a member of the
Phoenix Club there. He was buried at the United Jewish Cemetery; there
is some confusion about the date (elsewhere given as 09JAN1899).
Further research is needed.

Notes for CARRIEBELLE SCHAFFNER LEVY:
"My parents were comparatively unsophisticated people. My mother came
from a small town (Youngstown, Ohio) to a big city (Brooklyn), but
remained a small town person. Neither of them had much formal
education, but were certainly cooperative in helping me to get my
education. My father may have given me my first interest in travelling
because he enjoyed the limited amount he did during his lifetime."

SCHAFFNER 03 Mar 1873, daughter of NATHAN BECKER and HENRIETTE BECKER. She was born 06 May 1854,

Notes for HERMANN SCHAFFNER:
Hermann arrived in the USA at 19 in 1864, with his father (Nathan) and
his sister (Henriette S. Hammersley). In 1876 he founded a private bank,
Hermann Schaffner and Co.,when Chicago had a population of only 500,000.
It handled receivables purchased from wholesalers and sold to banks, the
forerunner of today's "commercial paper". In the Panic of 1893, there
was a run on the bank and Hermann became depressed and ended his life.
His company failed, all his assets and those of A.G. Becker, his junior
partner went to creditors. The bank paid out 10 cents on the dollar.When
established, Hermann sent for the rest of his brothers and sisters. He
married his first cousin, Rachel Becker. (See pages 305 and 335.)
Notes for RACHEL BECKER SCHAFFNER:
Little personal information is available about Rachel Becker Schaffner,
daughter of Henriettte, known as Yetta, who arrived in the US in 1864
with her brother Nathan (see page 192). Rachel married her first cousin,
Nathan's son Hermann, who founded Hermann Schaffner and Company. The
life insurance after Hermann's untimely death at 48, could not be
touched by creditors and therefore was available to found the new firm
A.G. Becker & Co. (her brother) in 1893, with her son Robert C.
Schaffner as an employee who later became Chairman of the Board.

Little personal information is available about Rachel Becker Schaffner,
daughter of Henriettte, known as Yetta, who arrived in the US in 1864
with her brother Nathan (see page 192). Rachel married her first cousin,
Nathan's son Hermann, who founded Hermann Schaffner and Company. The
life insurance after Hermann's untimely death at 48, could not be
touched by creditors and therefore was available to found the new firm
A.G. Becker & Co. (her brother) in 1893, with her son Robert C.
Schaffner as an employee who later became Chairman of the Board.
Notes for HERMANN SCHAFFNER:
Hermann arrived in the USA at 19 in 1864, with his father (Nathan) and
his sister (Henriette S. Hammersley). In 1876 he founded a private bank,
Hermann Schaffner and Co.,when Chicago had a population of only 500,000.
It handled receivables purchased from wholesalers and sold to banks, the
forerunner of today's "commercial paper". In the Panic of 1893, there
was a run on the bank and Hermann became depressed and ended his life.
His company failed, all his assets and those of A.G. Becker, his junior
partner went to creditors. The bank paid out 10 cents on the dollar.When

ROSENBAUM SCHAFFNER 11 May 1906, daughter of ISAAC ROSENBAUM and MARIANNE ROSENBAUM. She was
born 16 Aug 1885 in Rodheim Oberhessen, GER, and died 1932 in Frankfurt, GER.
Notes for ALBERT SCHAFFNER:
Albert had a very difficult, unhappy life. He did specialized handwork
in brass. His hobby was to race through the countryside on motorcycles.
He was imprisoned by the Nazis in Buchenwald, and his wife died at 52.
30

He was able to leave Germany for Brazil, thanks to the late Nazi law
allowing Jews to leave to join their children abroad. However, he was
unhappy there too, and returned to Germany after World War II, and died
there at age 74. His wife was a first cousin of Gerta Herzog Schaffner;
their descendants are therefore doubly related.
Notes for BERTHA ROSENBAUM SCHAFFNER:
Daughter of Emanuel Rosenbaum of Rodheim.
Died at age 52 in Germany.

Notes for RACHAEL WESTERFELD KORETZ:
[Koretz tree (FBC) from Abeles.FTW]
Rachel was a large woman for her time and was known as Rae. When her father
died in Europe at age 35 and her mother was in a sanitarium (TB?), Rae was
raised in a convent. Tanta Lisset Priseman and her son Paul may also have
helped out at this time. All are buried in the Temple Emmanuel Section of
Jewish Waldheim Cemetary.
Bertram Schaffner's information shows Rae's date of birth to be 9/8/1873. This could well be incorrect as he
shows her date of death as 10/4/1873.

Notes for ADOLPH KORETZ:
[Koretz tree (FBC) from Abeles.FTW]
Death certificate says place of birth was Rokitzon, Bohemia. Emigrated in 1885 at age 14 to avoid conscription.
His passport was signed by Franz Joseph, Austro-Hungarian Emperor. Adolph became a citizen, sold newspapers
as a young man, became a house painter and loaned ladders to a non-unionized friend, was fined and wouldn't
pay, then went into business in 1919 as Koretz and Condon Paint Store in the 3100 Block of Lincoln Avenue,
then A to Z Paint Store at 3365 North Marshfield. Cause of death chronic myocarditis, myocardial infarcts plus
arterosclerosis and old infarcts of the lungs and kidneys.
Jane Secter, the wife of Bill Secter who bought out the business from Eddie Koretz, a friend of Val Yudell.
Victor Kohn, who married Rose "Dolly" Freimuth, spoke to his son Herb of Adolph being a distant relative of his.
In Family Tree Maker's Family Archives Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1538-1940, there was a
reference to the arrival of Adolf Koretz, age 15, in New York in 1883 as noted in Czech Immigration Passenger
Lists: New York 1881-1886 from Leo Baca in Richardson, Texas. The book was purchased from Mr. Baca
(pronounced "Botcha" the Czech way). It showed the arrival was September 22, 1883 on the ship "Elbe" which
sailed from Bremen and Southampton as ship number 1216. The National Archives Microfilm is number
1027040.
I found a site run by the Jewish Genealogical Society with a listing of cemetaries in the Czech Republic
("hhp://www.jewishgen.org/cemetary/czrabrok.htm") which listed the cemetery in present day Rokycany, which
in German is Rokitzan. The town is 15 km E of Plzen (Pilsen). The earliest known Jewish congregation was in
32

1871, with 4 Jewish families being permitted before 1848. The peak Jewish population was in 1900, with about
98 Jews in 1910. The community was conservative and did not have a cemetery until after 1893. It has 20-100
headstones and is now owned by the Jewish community of Plzen. It was vandalized during WWII and between
1981-1991. It may be that Adolf was not from the town of Rokitzan, but the province of Rokitzan, as that was
where Tereschau and Rehsolov, birthplaces of his parents were located.

Added in 2008
I enjoyed the successful practice of psychiatry and psychoanalysis from 1992-2004 when I fell and broke my
hip. My entire life changed from that moment on. I recovered well from the fracture but I was never able to
walk unassisted after that. I retired from active practice at the age of 92 but continue to see patients for 3
hours a week. I also see a group of patients for psychotherapy every two weeks. I carried out research on
androgyny in India and published a paper on that subject. I also wrote a new preface for the republication of
my book on Germany. I maintain a subscription to concerts and ballet but I am very hampered by the
diminution of my vision.
My greatest pleasure from 1967-on was the collection of antique East Indian and Himalayan Art which is all
destined to go to the Brooklyn Museum. I was very fortunate for the guidance and friendship of Amy Poster,
Curator of Asian Art, who was then Curator of Oriental Art. Fortunately I had collected the art before the
onset of my macular degeneration.
I have reached the age of 96 in relatively good health and am grateful for my good fortune.

Notes for KATHLEEN KORETZ ABELES:
[Koretz tree (FBC) from Abeles.FTW]
Nickname - Kathy. Colleges - Cornell (2 years), Wellesley (1 semester), graduated from University of Michigan.
Kathy was in an intensive IBM training program when she met Rick. She worked for IBM from June of 1967
until October of 1969, when she and Rick travelled around the world from October of 1969 until May of 1971,
visiting over 50 countries, none in Europe. This led, through meetings with people in Niamey, Niger and
Teheran, Iran who had lived in Santa Fe, to visits to Santa Fe and an eventual move. We had visited New
Mexico on our honeymoon to ski at Taos Ski Valley, but had never been to Santa Fe, having flown from
Albuquerque to Taos.
Upon her return to the U.S. Kathy was an independent computer consultant for a couple of years consulting with
former IBM clients, then taught high school math and established the computer program at her alma mater,
Francis W. Parker in Chicago. After moving to Santa Fe she was an independent computer consultant in small
systems for several years, then became a realtor with French & French in 1989. She served on the Board of
Trustees of St. Vincent Hospital from 1981-1989 and was chairman of the board 1987-1988
Rick and Kathy had their first date on June 15, 1967 with dinner at Hackney's and seeing the picture "Endless
Summer". It was a hot, humid Chicago night. On June 24th she decided she would marry Rick. Rick had his last
non-Kathy date with Betsy Nodler (later married Dale Pinkert) of Philadelphia, with whom he was fixed up by her
sister Debby (Lester) Rosen well before he met Kathy.

Notes for RICHARD ALAN ABELES:
[Koretz tree (FBC) from Abeles.FTW]
Nickname - Rick. College - Amherst (majored in physics), law school - Harvard. Rick went to Charles
Kozminski School (public) for 5 years, Shakespeare for one-half year, then Harvard School for Boys from 6th
through Senior year, graduating as valedictorian. Rick practiced with Altheimer & Gray in Chicago from 1963-
1969, traveled with Kathy from October of 1969 to May of 1971, worked with Aubrey Greenberg, architect and
developer in Chicago from 1971-1975 doing legal and development work.
Moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico June 29, 1975.
Started this geneaology just trying to find out the name of the town where his grandfather David C. Abeles was
born. The task grew as he wrote to St. Cloud, MN and Penn Yan, NY and started finding more people on all
sides of the family, to include Rosenbachers, Kohns, Guthmanns, Koretzes, Greenwalds, etc. Sent out 300 letters
to a computer generated list acquired in about 1987 or so, getting about 150 responses and an equal number of
non-replies, resulting in finding two relatives, Eizabeth Abeles Pink and Elvin Abeles. Using professional
geneaological researchers found Rosenbacher history in Cleveland and Abeles history from Betty Strassenburgh,
and an email message sent to all people with Abeles in their email addresses led from Jim Abeles to me and
yielded Steve Axelrath.

Spencer Schaffner has wandered the country a bit, looking for a home.
He has lived in Boulder, Santa Fe, Boston, Portland, and Seattle, but
now finds himself in Champaign-Urbana, a flat town in the center of
the Midwest. Why did Spencer wind up in Champaign-Urbana? Was it
because he wanted to move his bicycle collection to a dry garage? To
stay away from the rising oceans? No, Spencer has a job that he likes
at the University of Illinois, and despite his annual requests, the
Provost has refused to move the campus to one of the coasts. Spencer
enjoys being out of doors, reading, writing, and playing around on his
computer.
