Notes - “My grandfather's name - my father's father - was Yakov Dovid Rogozinsky and his wife was named Yentil. He was quite educated in Hebrew, well respected, with a seat near the eastern wall. He had what they called a "zocher," which was the privilege of davening shachres every holiday. That was his chore or honor, whichever way you look on it. He considered it a great honor. It would have hurt him terribly if her were denied that privilege. He was very active in the shul, gathering funds for "moyess chitim" or relief for the poor, so that they may have wine, matzohs, provisions for Passover.
My grandfather was a smithy; he was the village blacksmith. While no one was wealthy in this little town, this trade made him better off than most. The peasants used to come to him to have their wagons repaired and their horses shod. He was always busy and made a living that way. Although my father was raised in that type of work, he drifted away from it and became a storekeeper. He engaged in all sorts of ventures. He ran a dairy, bought and sold grain from the peasants, gave contracts for selling other provisions. I don't know if he made much money, although he must have made something. But my grandfather was as I have said, quite educated.” [1]
