Abie had been caught in a Cossack round-up. When the Cossacks had gotten through shooting arbitrarily into the crowd, Abie had been left crippled, losing an arm and a leg. When Etel, Gussie, Max, and Rose came to America in 1909, they had to leave Abie behind. He would not be allowed into the US until they could establish that he would not be a burden on the country. He died in the US during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-20. |
