Daugailiai

Written by Dov Levin
Translated by Shaul Yannai
(Yiddish, Daugel)

A town and the center of a sub district in northeastern Lithuania along the Dvinsk-Kaunas road, 18 km northeast of Utena, the district's city. Daugailiai is surrounded by lakes that abound with fish.

The town was established during the 18^th century. A post office operated near it before WWI. At that time, 10 Jewish families lived in the town. During the war, they moved into the interior of Russia. In 1921, after Independent Lithuania was established, the family of Ya'akov Shubski returned to Daugailiai; this family made its livelihood by maintaining an inn and from a store that served the needs of the farmers. According to the 1923 Lithuanian census, the town had 369 inhabitants, 73 of them were Jews (including around the town). Apparently, they all left the town within a few years. In 1935, the Shubski family members emigrated to Eretz-Yisrael. As a result, a Jewish settlement in the town ceased to exist.
