I wanted to let you know that my dearest sister, Eve Goldfarb Abrams, passed away on Thanksgiving Eve, last Wednesday, November 25, after a long and worthy life. She was buried in the Staszower Cemetery in Woodbridge, N.J.
Eve fell a little short of becoming a centenarian, having made it to 99 years and 9 months. Although she recorded a slight deficit in not reaching 100 years, she did give and receive a great surplus of love and affection in her lifetime.
We will surely miss her warmheartedness, her creativity and her individualistic lifestyle.
Jack Goldfarb Simone Adam and Melissa.

Nizhyn (Ukrainian: Ніжин; Russian: Нежин; Nezhin) is a city located in the Chernihiv Oblast of northern Ukraine, along the Oster River, 150 km north-east of the nation's capital, Kiev. It is the administrative center of the Nizhynsky Raion, though the city itself is also designated as a district in the oblast. Its estimated population is 76,625 (as of the 2001 census).
In the nineteenth century Nizhyn became an uyezd capital of Chernigov Guberniya and, before 1808, of Malorosiyskaya (or Little Russian) gubernia. In 1805, the BezborodkoLyceum was established there; its graduates include Nikolai Gogol, whose statue graces one of city streets. Nizhyn has also long been noted for its famous cucumbers.
According to Dan Rottenberg's "Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow", Frička is marked on a map as "home of the Goldner family" (p.21). Presumably Mandel Goldner or his son Harry came from this village in Eastern Slovakia, just miles from the Polish border.
