208 Among that striking group of men who in the latter part of the
nineteenth century bore the burden of government and contributed in a
very large measure to the material, political, civic and moral development
of Santa Barbara county, Charles Fernald was a. prominent and
influential figure. For nearly forty years he was a resident of Santa
Barbara and during practically all of that period was actively and effectively
interested in the public affairs of this locality, his alert and
vigorous mentality, his fine public spirit and his sterling integrity giving
him marked prestige throughout this section of the state.

Mr. Fernald was born at Berwick, Maine, on the 27th of May, 1830;
and his death occurred at Santa Barbara on the 7th of July, 1892, in
the sixty-third year of his age. He secured his education in the district
schools of his native state, where he remained until 1849, when, at
the age of nineteen years, he joined the stream of gold-seekers who
were in that historic year crossing the plains to California. He arrived
in San Francisco June 14, 1849, and was soon engaged in editorial
work on the San Francisco Post and Alta Californian. He studied law
and was admitted to the bar. In 1853 he came to Santa Barbara and
on March 14 of that year was appointed county judge, to which position
he was later elected, and reelected, his career on the bench being
marked by an ability and fairness that stamped him as possessing a
naturally judicial mind. In May, 1882, Judge Fernald was elected
mayor of Santa Barbara, and later was appointed United States commissioner
for the southern district of California, discharging his official
duties with distinction and ability.

Judge Fernald was the owner of extensive farm lands and was the
first to experiment on a large scale in the growing of olives, to which
he planted a large tract of land and in which he met with - eminent success. In everything relating to the progress and upbuilding of his
community he took an active interest and was a leader in the promotion
of many movements of inestimable benefit thereto. He was a life
member of the Society of California Pioneers and was affiliated with
the Sons of the American Revolution. Fraternally he was a member
of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and also belonged to the
American Academy of Political and Social Science, of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.

On May 7, 1862, at North Berwick, Maine, Judge Fernald was united
in marriage to Miss Hannah Hobbs. Noted as a citizen whose career,
useful and honorable, conferred credit on his community, and whose
marked abilities and sterling qualities won for him much more than
local repute, Judge Fernald held distinctive precedence as one of the
most progressive and successful men of his day in this locality. He was
essentially a man of affairs, sound of judgment, keen in discernment,
quick in decision, and his success was the legitimate fruitage of consecutive
and well directed effort. He gave to the world the best of an
essentially virile, loyal and noble nature and his standard of integrity
and honor was inflexible. He was in the truest sense the architect of
his own fortunes and upon his entire career there rests no blemish, for
he was true to the highest ideals in business, professional, civic and
social life. 		FERNALD, Charles (I2586)

212 Anna Berman Asimov proved to be a talented actress, according to the written recollections of her husband, Judah (Jack) Asimov.

In 1917, Judah wrote, "For the first show, they selected a play by the name of ìFamily Zvi,î by [the well-known Yiddish playright] David Pinsky. ... We played as amateurs in more than 10 plays, and we were so good that people used to come from the surrounding villages and towns to see us play. Mamma [Anna Berman Asimov] even played in Jacob Gordonís play (ìCHASIE DI YETOMEî) while she was in her seventh month with a baby that we later named Isaac. And nobody could have told that she was pregnant
at that time.

[Note: Jacob Gordon ñ also spelled Gordin -- (1853-1909), was regarded as one of the greatest playwrights of the Yiddish American theater, circa 1895 in NY. His most successful play was ìThe Jewish King Lear,î about a pious immigrant father abused by his heartless American-born daughters. He also wrote ì Mirele Efrosî (1898), known as The Jewish Queen Lear, and ìGod, Man and Devilî (1900), based on the story of Faust.]

"Mamma learned her lines easily, and she did not depend on the box man who used to read in a low voice so that the players did not make mistakes. For some, it was no help at all. But Mamma did not need anybodyís help. She learned the lines and did not make any mistakes because she used to live the life of Pesenue, the pious wife of Hershele Dubrovner in ìGot, Mentsh un Teiflî [ìGod, Man and Devilî]. I am reminded now that she was the best. She never imitated anything, and when it came to laughter she was always first. She used to inspire the whole crowd."

[Note: The play ìGot, Mentch un Teiflî ìexplores whether or not a good and pious man will be corrupted by money. Satan makes a wager with God that he can tempt Hershele Dubrovneróa poor, religious Torah scribeóby handing him a lottery ticket which will win a fortune. Satan then disguises himself and becomes Hersheleís business partner, advising Hershele to open a tallis [prayer shawl] factory and hire the community men to work for a pittance. The disguised Satan also tells Hershele to divorce his barren wife of 22 years [Pesenue] and marry the young and beautiful niece that Hershele and his wife had raised. Hershele follows all of the advice he is givenóand in the process destroys his family, his friendships, and any spiritual values he once had. He learns that life holds no remedies for the damage he has caused.î And the story ends tragically.î]

Anna was born just one block away from Judah, on an opposite corner. In his written recollections, Judah also writes that Anna's mother was the second wife of Anna's father, Isaac Berman. Isaac had "some sons and a daughter, from which I knew two David and Uncle Joseph. I have heard about another son, Mordechai."

Judah also writes, Anna had "three brothers all younger than her." He refers to Anna as the "little sister" of Mordechai.

He says that her older brother, Joseph, had left Petrovichi when Ann was a baby.

The manifest of the Baltic (arriving from Liverpool) lists the family as follows: Juda, Hana Rochel, Aisik & Manis Asimy. It says they are from Petrowitschi.

Arrived on Feb. 3, 1923, and, according to Judah’s written memories, it took them four days to get off the ship. They entered NY on Feb. 7, 1923. (I am writing this on Feb. 7, 2023. (!) )

Here's a bit about the ship:
BALTIC 1903
The BALTIC was a 23,876 gross ton ship built in 1903 by Harland & Wolff, Belfast for the White Star Line. Her details were - length 709.2ft x beam 75.6ft, two funnels, four masts, twin screw and a speed of 17 knots. There was accommodation for 425-1st, 450-2nd and 2,000-3rd class passengers. Launched on 21st Nov.1903, she sailed from Liverpool on her maiden voyage to New York on 29th Jun.1904. In 1909 she rescued survivors of the collision between the REPUBLIC and the FLORIDA off the US coast, in which the REPUBLIC sank. On 12th Dec.1918 she commenced her first voyage after the Armistice, from Liverpool to New York and in 1927 her accommodation was altered to carry 393-cabin class, 339-tourist class and 1,150-3rd class passengers. On 17th Sep.1932 she commenced her last voyage from Liverpool to New York and Liverpool and on 17th Feb.1933 sailed for Osaka, Japan where she was scrapped.

237 As fallout from the case of the mysterious death of her newborn son, Mary and her mother began legal proceedings against the Brooklyn Daily Times, which had heavily covered the case (and appeared to cast a sideways glance at the verdict that the baby had died of apoplexy).

From the Brooklyn Eagle, 18 Jun 1888:

TWO BIG LIBEL SUITS.

Mrs. Coles, of Glen Cove, and her daughter, Mrs. Titus, have retained Counselor Cromwell, who has associated with him ex-Judge Covert, to bring suits against the Brooklyn Times for damages for libel for charging them with child murder. The ladies were vindicated by the Coroner's jury and the Grand Jury on the evidence of reputable physicians. The damages in each case are laid at $25,000. 		COLES, Mary (I3562)

282 Boris' niece, Serafima Asimova, wrote to Isaac Asimov in 1979 from Leningrad. She said: "Boris was living in Petrovichi for a long time, then he came to Moscow. He was mathematician. Later his sick father -- grandfather Aaron -- came to his house....After the war, Boris lived in Leningrad. He had no family and was alone. Now he is living in Israel."

In 2006, Serafima wrote more about Boris in an email. She said: "(Like his brother Samuel), Boris too had huge propensities to mathematics. It also became then the teacher of mathematics though very much loved poetry, knew by heart Pushkin, Tyutchev, Fet. Perfectly knew Sacred Classic Jewish language so then the Hebrew referred to."

"The daddy [Samuel Asimov], mum, I, uncle Boris and the [maternal] grandfather [Samson Shmulevitch] lived in one room of a municipal apartment in the street Gogol 21, in Leningrad."

In another email, Serafima wrote: "Boris -- measured, slow, lyrical, the mathematician -- the theorist, writes verses in Hebrew. ...Boris lived with Aaron and Hanna - parents. Then, when his mum [Hanna] has died - he has left for Moscow. At Boris since the childhood the right foot was not bent - in game boys have pushed - has fallen, has broken, there was no good doctor, in Smolensk the medical assistant has rescued a leg {foot}, but she {it} has ceased to be bent. War began. ...

"Boris has left for evacuation to Tashkent. Once to me aunt Dvosja [sister of Judah, Boris, Samuel and Rachel] told, that in Moscow Boris married and he had wife and the daughter, but they tragically were gone. It has been told once, but I was more never about it heard. It was not accepted to speak never on this theme.

"[Boris' younger brother] Samuel has decided - it is necessary, that Boris Asimov has arrived to Leningrad, here to Life him it will be easier. ...Samuel has solved - I more sociable, I shall leave, and the room let remain to Boris. ...Samuel has taken all and has returned to a room to Boris. We lived all together in a small room - Uncle Boris, the daddy, mum, [maternal] grandfather Samson, I. It is 1953.

(By 1966) "Uncle Boris has remained in the room. It was very beautiful house in the center of Leningrad, but there it was difficult to live - there was no hot water...it was necessary to heat fire wood.
It is difficult for understanding. A room - in an apartment, where 3-5 more rooms. Another's people live in them. And only one room for uncle Boris.

"In 1968 to uncle Boris gave other room with hot water and heating and in 1974 he has left for Israel.
Uncle Boris is a lot of with me was engaged, he learned me to mathematics, he paid for my music education, and the piano has presented me, drove in museums and cinema. He very much loved me and I very much loved him. Boris was the religious person, he perfectly knew a Hebrew, wrote verses in a Hebrew, every day was engaged in a Torah."

Serafima writes that her son, Alexander -- who has taken the name of his grandfather, Samuel, since moving to Israel -- has inherited some traits from his Uncle Boris: "From Uncle Boris (though they saw only 2-3-times), Alexander - Samuel 1971 of a birth, has inherited love to poetry and the romantic attitude to a life."

In the late 1970s and early '80s, Boris' nephews Stanley and Isaac, and his niece Marcia, exchanged letters with him. He wrote in Yiddish, which Stanley or Marcia had translated. Stanley's secretary, Sylvia Smith, went to visit him. Sylviaibed Boris as living in impoverished circumstances, but unwilling to accept help.

He had a social worker, however, who tried to help him. In a letter to Stanley, Marcia and Isaac, social worker Colin Keye wrote that Boris had an eye operation and that that was the "straw that broke the camel's back." Boris was placed under state guardianship in an arrangement overseen by an American attorney, Arthur Rosenstein, of Hertzl St., Netanya. Boris received help from the Netanya (Israel) Social Services for the Elderly, Stamper ST. 5, Netanya, Israel.

In the last weeks of his life, he was placed in a psychogeriatric ward of this nursing home in Hadera, Israel: "Beit Noach, Shikun Weitzman," where he lived for about 6 weeks, and then died.

2008: (For the first time, Serafima sees the photos of Uncle Boris in his final years. She writes to her cousin, Nanette Asimov): "I have seen his photo and heart mine was compressed, and to eyes the tears have risen. I never saw him by such old and helpless. I knew him, as very courageous, hardworking man, which knew very much, as mathematics and the connoisseur talmud. He very well knew Russian classical poetry and itself wrote verses on ivrit. He very beautifully sang, he had warm baritone - vote, as Violoncello. I shall send his photos, I would like, that near to his surname other photo has appeared still." 		ASIMOV, Abraham Ber (Boris) (I7)

287 Both on Benjamin’s death notice in 1866 in Michigan and in the 1850 census the age given would indicate he was born around December 1770, not December 1774 as documented in Clara Stone’s Griffing genealogy record from 1881. The source of Stone’s assertion of 1774 as birth year is unclear, and remains an open question for me. GRIFFING, Benjamin (I3554)
