Reminiscences
of Jacob Greenebaum, Sr. (cont.)
HIRSCH
(GREENEBAUM) married Miriam (FELSENTHAL), daughter of Jacob
ISAAC
(FELSENTHAL) and Hannah (BAYER HERZ), and the couple settled in
Reipoltskirchen,
canton Lauterecken, where during many years he carried on an extensive
business in leather
and iron; he was besides the owner of several herds of sheep, for which he
leased
pasturage in Reipoltskirchen and surrounding communities. This couple was
known in the
whole region as most benevolent and they were beloved therefore by the poor
and suffering,
the widows and orphans, and were honored and respected by all.

We established without help from others a shelter for poor
wandering Jews, of whom there were many at that time. In such manner he
earned a name for
himself in that region that will not be forgotten, and he is spoken of to
this day with
greatest reverence.
