Re: [Cz-L] Re: People from Storozhinets

Hi Gloria,
My grandfather, Osias Mayer Weissthal, was born in Storozhinetz and the
family story is that his father worked for the government as an accountant.
Supposedly the family lived in Storozhinetz for several generations, had a
large estate with many horses. I think Osias moved to Czernowitz at some
point in his early adulthood, married my grandmother, Regina Hefter, and
came to America in 1912. My understanding is what has already been
mentioned, namely that Czernowitz was the "big city" and Storozhinetz was
more of a suburb. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks so much for this forum! You all have given me so many interesting
stories to read.

Hello Gloria,

I do not have specific knowledge of Storozhinets, or as we called it,
Strozhinets, but from my general knowledge of conditions in the villages and
small towns in the vicinity of Czernowitz, I would say that, in 1900, every
small town had its store where one could buy ordinary food-stuffs,
agricultural implements and things like soap, twine, sacks, whips,
harnesses, etc. For fabric, clothing, furniture, books, pots and pans,
people who lived in the small towns had to go to Czernowitz.
Most of the things which we currently buy ready-made, were at that time made
at home, or made by craftsmen living in the small or larger towns.
This includes items such as shoes, women's clothes, men's shirts, bedding
and rugs.
