Demise of Abraham Aub.

In Abraham Aub, says the Am IS
rae7te, Cincinnati has lost one of her
most active guardians Of the poor and
helpless; X. K. Benai Yeshurun, one of
its most valuable members Israel, one
of his most faithful sons; society, no
BILE hearted and generous benefactor.
He died at his residence at o'clock a.
M, Sunday, November 9th, and was
buried, Tuesday, November 11th. He
leaves behind his wife, the faithful part
ner of his life for thirty four years, two
sons (Dr. Joseph Aub and Samuel Aub),
three daughters Mrs. Buchanan, Mrs.
Roensheim and Miss Bella), several
grandchildren, and many, many friends
to lament an irreparable loss; for alas
good men, such as Abraham Aub, are
not as numerous as they ought to be,
and he was true and faithful in all hui
man relations; trulyand conscientiously
religious and reEgiously conscientious.
Abraham Aub was born in 1913, in
Forcheim, Bavaria. of a prominent fam-s
lily, two members ofwhich have attained
particular distinc ton oIiesas th1 lafe
ablhi n ae Us pl -
Ae1ft faBbY of Berlin. He received AZ
thoroughly religious education and sec
ular instruction, so that he was well en-
abled in after times not only to attend
to his business intelligently, but also to
the various offices which he held, and to
perform ministerial functions in the
synagogue. He was what might be
called well-infoEmed layman. Having
chosen the mercantile career, he, with
many other young and industrious peo-
pie who sought liberty and success, left
the then woe-stricken Bavaria and set
tied in the United States.
He came to Cincinnati in 1887, was
successful in business, and went back
to Germany in 1912, married Miss Fanny
Rindskopf, and came back to Cincinnati
with her in 1o43. Since then, till he re-
tired from business, Mr.. Aub was one of
the most prominent business men in this
city, in the firm of Aub, Bloch 4 Fren-
kel, afterwards Aub, Newburg 4 Fren-
kel, distinguished especially in two re-
spects, for uprightness and stern hon
esty, and for the strict observation of
the Jewish Sabbath and holidays.
The second Sabbath before his death,
he was still in his seat in the temple,
and the last Day of Atonement he was
there, one of the first to come and OF the
last to leave, as was always his custom.
Abraham Aub was always rich man,
but in consequence of his profoundly re-
ligious and humane feelings, he was al
ways plain, simple and affable, without
any aristocratic air, as far removed from
haughtiness as he was from dishonesty
When the question of reform broke in
upon K. K. Benai Y Yeshurun, he favored
it in principle, and opposed it in prac-
tice, no further, however, than argument
and the majority vote were in his favor.
There he stopped and felt satisfied in
his conscience.
Abraham Aub was one of the charter
members Of K. K. Benai Yeshurun, was
till of late almost continually one of it's
officers, and twice he was President of
the Congregation-1849 to 1851, and
then again 1861 to 1865. He was a char
ter member of Talmid Yelodim Insti-
tute, and President of that congrega-
tional School, and for some time Pres
ident of its Board of Directors. He
was one of the men who established the
Jewish Hospital in this city, and was its
President from 1856, with some inter-
ruption, to 1876. He was one of the
charter members of Mount Carmel
Lodge, No. 20, /. O. B. B., went through
the chairs, and was Grand Nassi Ab in
