Benevolent Society

The following membership information is provided courtesy of Jim Selig.

The Skidler Benevolent Association was an organization of New York immigrants from Skidel. Members of the Benevolent Association supported each other, purchased burial plots, and met regularly. The Association met from 1900 until 1974.

This time the researcher was fortunate in finding a booklet of the 50th anniversary celebration with the names of the membership printed on several pages permitting photocopying and eliminating the grubby business of going through ledgers to locate names. Unfortunately the first names are initials. If you suspect that a name is a close relative I might be able to supply you with the 1950 address [jselig3460@aol.com]. Some names from a ledger will be added after the anniversary list. The spelling of these names which were entered in cursive script are to be considered suspect.
The YIVO professionals are cooperative and patient librarians and archivists who allow me to take up so much of their valuable time. This time I would like to cite the estimable Yeshaya Metal, a scholar and Yiddishist who obligingly allows me to take him on wild goose searches deciphering idiosyncratic Yiddish cursive writing and translating from the Yiddish where necessary. His dedication as a Public Service Librarian and his professionalism is reflected in his observant approach to life. What a pleasure it is to receive his guidance.
