Family from Chelm; at 10 years old apprenticed to family in Warsaw. Was in the army. Brother was given money to buy him out of the army. Gets on the train and doesn't buy two tickets - at certain point, train slowed down, Aaron put on regular clothes that brother bought for him and they jumped off the train! Brother kept the money and didn't give it to anyone! Brother bought property in Brooklyn. Just before the brother (Leibel?) died, gave $3000 to Aaron that he should have given him to buy him out of the army.

Aaron was youngest of the family, Aaron only knew of this one brother.

The brother of Aaron gave Jack and Francis $100 for their wedding present.

Buried in cometary with his wife in Fairlawn, NJ.

His mother was embarrassed to have a child at 40 and sent him to a nursemaid. Could only read some yiddish and made up his own written language to run his business.

Aarons father had a bakery in Chelm.

As an adult, when he was being fit for fake teeth, they realized he still had his baby teeth and dug under his gums (before anesthesia) to pull out his adult teeth.

Interesting tooth DNA: Both Michael Feigin and Rivka Saperstein Duskis (second cousins, descendants of Aaron) had an upper right canine tooth that didn't grow in properly. It grew to the inside, not pushing out the baby tooth at all... both had to have their baby tooth pulled and Michael had a chain to slowly pull the adult tooth forward... it's still not forward and so it's capped. Rikki just left her adult tooth where it was. No other descendants are known to have this strange DNA anomaly.

Lived at 105 matlock St, Paterson, NJ (according to Francis Kreitman) ... it's been paved over. House no longer there.

Naturalization document shows that he emigrated from Chelm, Poland to 10 Paterson St, Paterson, NJ at the age of 26 on a ship named "Potsdam" which left from Rotterdam, Netherlands. Birthdate listed as Feb 5, 1894. Went on the 10th of April, 1914.
