his daughter, Annie Saul Sack.
The store is being run by a
member of that family to this
day.
Meyer Saul went into busi
ness in about 1894 in Monroe,
Ga. His cousin, Ida Saul Cohen,
and her family settled in Dade-
villa, Alabama, in 1898, while
her sister, Fayge Molke Gold
man and her family made their
home in about 1904 in Toccoa,
Ga. Riva Saul came from Eu
rope and married Dave Cohen,
who was also from Yonova,
and they opened a store in
Alexander City, Ala., where
they and their children are
living at this time. Sara Saul
Klotz and her husband located
in McDonough, Ga., where
thev had a grocery store in
about 1904. That same year
Leah Saul Yudelson and her
husband and children came to
America, settling in Greens
boro, Ga., but soon after mov
ing to Atlanta, where they
opened a store on Edgewood
Avenue.
In 1905 Louis Saul, another
cousin arrived, and a store was
opened in Canton, Ga. Soon
after Ida Saul Golden and her
family came to Atlanta where
her husband went into the
the business of jobbing sun
dries. Her brother Joseph Leb,
(the writer’s father), came a
few 7 years later, started out in
Temple, Ga. and then moved
to Marietta, Ga.
“Old timers” helped newcom
ers not only in business, but
to become Americanized. They
helped one another and saved
some to send home to needy
relatives in Yonova. And that’s
how unselfishly this family
lived for years — helping one
another, and each one paying
back as soon as he could.
By the time World War I
broke out, America was “home”
to the Sauls as no other land
had ever been before. Each
Saul had established himself
in business, identified himself
with the nearest Jewish com
munity, and affiliated with a
synagogue. Great-grandchil
dren of Solomon Isaac were
in the United States Army, and
his descendants at this point
must have numbered about
250. Altogether, the family was
swept up on the wave of
change that carried Americans
as a whole, forward, to a high
er standard of living.
Then came World War II and
the heartbreak that came to the
Jews of Europe with the curse
of Nazism. Those of Solomon
I s a a c’s great-grand-children
who lived in Europe at this
time were not spared. Success
ful busines and professional
men and women—all were
swept up in the wake of in
humanity that was the order
of the day. Those who were
fortunate enough to survive or
escape from Lithuania mad
their way to Russia where the-,
live now behind the Iron Cur
tain. Others made their wa>
to Israel whose doors were
open to receive them, and a
few came to Atlanta when
their cousins took them in, as
their fathers and mothers had
done before.
It was in the year 1950 tha'
several of 'the. great-grandchil
dren of Solomon Isaac and
Gertrude decided to organize
a family circle and to meet an
nually so that the members of
the family would not lose
track of one another and would
maintain a closeness. Through
the efforts of a few cousins,
living in Atlanta, which seems
to have become the hub of the
family, and with the coopera
tion of older members, lists
were made and invitations is
sued to every available mem
ber of the Saul family and his
children for an “Ingathering."
The reminiscing that went
on would be good material for
a book. Joseph Leb Saul told
about his journey to America—
how he went from Russia to
China, then to Japan, crossing
the Pacific Ocean, landing in
San Francisco, and from there
going to his cousins in Atlanta.
J. L. Saul remembered that
Sarah Klotz often asked the
members of the family for con-
