RUBIN BONISKE
TAKEN BY DEATH
QUNDAY NiGHT
REMAINS OF PROMINEMNT . “ITI
ZEN TAKEN TO ATLANTA TO
DAY FOR INTERMENT.
Rubin Boniske, prominent citizen
and merchant of Cordels for many
years, died suddenly at his home on
thirteenth avenue, corner of Fifth
street, last night about 10 o’clock. His
death came altogether unexpectedly
and as a great shock to members of
the family. Only a few minutes be
fcre he was up and about the house,
himself admitting the physician who
came to attend him, joking
with him, as ’ ‘he entered
the home. Mr. Boniske was known
to have recently cuffered from high
hlood pressure due to heart trouble.
He suffered an attack Thursday
morning, but Saturday attended to
business at his merchantile establish
ment on Eight street throughout the
day. Sunday morning about 11
o’clock he had a second attack though
in a short time was thought to have
boen almost completely relieved and
seemed 'in the very best of spirits. |
Mr. Boniske was one of the most
progressive and substantial Jewish
citizens of Cordele. He was & man
of unusual integrity, progressiveness
and public spirit, who always had the
best interest of his city and commun
ity at heart, ever ready to lend his
aid and substance to any worthy
cause, whether among Jews or Gen
tiles, for community advancement
and in all philinthropic and patriotic
occasions. He was a true and loyal
husband and father and faithful al
ways to his religion.
Mr. Boniske was 58 years of age.
He came to Cordele about 31 years
ago, and about seven or eight years
later entered the merchantile busi
ress for himself. Later he moved
with his family to Vienna and en
‘gaged in business there. After 8
vears in Vienna he went to Phila
delphia and was in business in that
city for two years, returning to Cor
dele about sixteen years ago. He was
born in the State of Kieve, Russia,
which state is now called the Ukvaine
and when quite a young man came
to America.
Surviving are the widow, five
daughters, Mrs. L. J. Roobin, of Cor
dele, Mrs, H. Fox, of Philada.phia,
Mrs. Dave Boniske, Mrs. No2than
Kantziper, Miss Eva Boniske, cf
Cordele; two sons, Mr. Nathan Eon
iske, of Sylvester, and Mr. Max Bon
iske, of Cordele; a brother, Mr, D.
Boniske, and a sister, Mrs. George
Miller, of Cordele.
The remains were taken to Atlan
ta, leaving this morning, accompanicd
by Mrs. Boniske, Miss Eva Boniske,
and Messrs L. J. Roobin, Nathan
Boniske, Dave Boniske, H. Orovitz,
of Vienna. Interment will occur at
the Orthodox Flebrew cemetery in
Atlanta temorrow morning.
The sympathy of hundced: of
friends of the deceased and of the
family in Cordele and throughout
this section goes out to the Joved
ones in their great bereavement.

dervees of the appointment of which
were printed this morning in the of

Jt is probable the new ministry

The significance of the appoint

people of this city. They recall his
friendship with Clemenceau and the
close ties uniting him with Poincare,
who has stcood for strict enforcement
of the Versailles treaty. Briand has
