Fifth Generation


21. Wolfe SULSKI6,9,19 was born in 1873 in Lithuania.9 He died on 29 November 1954 at the age of 81 in South Africa. The 1887 List of Residents of Janova says that Wolf was included in an 1893 draft list, but does not say if he showed up for the draft.

Judith Saul Stix wrote in The Wise Child's Book "In the spring of 1936, J. Saul and his brother Wolf met in New York and sailed on the Acquitania for Europe, planning three months of travel on the Continent and a family reunion with their brothers in Kovna. A newspaper account of that time, preserved by Sophia Saul Weiss, is [the] principal source of information about Wolf. He told the newspaper that he was on his yearly visit to Atlanta, accopmpanied by his wife Pauline, a native of Washington, D.C. (She had been introduced to him by his cousins Ida Atlas and Mary Shappirio.) Wolf said that he left Russia at the age of fifteen and that he had been in South Africa for 47 years. . . . He sold ladies' wear and had lived in Johannesburg for almost 40 years. 'About thirty years ago,' according to the news story, Wolf Saul played host to Theodore Roosevelt, who 'hunted on Saul's 10,000-acre plantation in East Africa.' The brothers who had gone abroad and the brothers who had remained in Lithuania had been apart for 'nearly fifty years,' tending to confirm that the emigration date was 1888. Wolf died on November 29, 1954, Pauline, on October 29, 1971, according to Sophie Weiss's notes. They have descendants living in Boston and San Diego."
