Perhaps the most interesting of these old papers is a marriage
contract made in 1861. Following is a copy:

Abraham Harris and Miss Frederica Koppel, the original of which is in
Hebrew:
On the Third day of the week the Seventh day of the month of Elul

become his wife according to the law of Moses and Israel; that he would
respect, esteem, support and provide for her agreeably to the customs
usually practiced by the Jews, who truly and faithfully respect, esteem,
support and provide for their wives, and that he would willingly allow
her the Virgin dowry of Two Hundred silver Zusim to which she is
entitled by the Jewish law. And further more that he would maintain,
support and provide her with all things necessary and live with her a
conjugal life according to the customs of the world. Now the said Miss
Frederica, having agreed to become his wife, brought to him her portion
in silver and gold, in wearing apparel, ornamental dresses, beddings and
furniture to the amount of Five Hundred Dollars, to which sum the
aforesaid Bridegroom voluntarilly added the sum of Four Thousand Dollars
current Money of this village, binding himself, his heirs and assignees
from this day and forever to pay to the said Bride or her heirs the
aforesaid portion and the sum added, with the most exquisite property,
whether real or personal estate, which he posses(sic.) under the
canopy of Heaven or should hereafter acquire. And lastly doth the
aforesaid Bridegroom pledge himself to perform and execute in the most
ample manner every condition specified in this Contract agreeably to the
written contracts which are established and in force by ordinance of our
ancient sages without any reservation whatever.
And we the undersigned Evidences received from the aforesaid
Bridegroom, Mr. Abraham son of Michael Harris a formal declaration and
acknowledgement that he delivered this Contract of Marriage for the sole
use and benefit of the aforesaid Bride Miss Frederica daughter of Jacob
Koppel and doth hereby confirm all the foregoing conditions and

DAVID GREENEWALD IS LAID TO REST
Local Merchant Who Died In Baltimore Will Be Buried at Wilmington.
David Greenwald(sic.), senior member of the firm of M.
Greenwald(sic.), one of the largest department stores in the
city, who died yesterday morning at 6:30 o’clock at a hospital in
Baltimore, will be buried today at Wilmington, N. C., where his mother
and father are buried. The funeral will be held in Wilmington. The store
was closed yesterday and will remain closed today. Members of the family
not already at his bedside left yesterday for Wilmington to attend the
funeral.
Health Declines.
Mr. Greenwald’s(sic.) health began to decline the early part
of this year, and he continued to grow worse until he felt a few days
ago that it was necessary to take treatment in a hospital. He went to
Baltimore but after his arrival there it was seen that little could be
done for him, and he continued to fail until the end came. Members of
the family were informed that his condition was more serious and several
of his nearest relatives hastened to his bedside and were present when
the end came. His mind was clear to the last, advices from his bedside
state.
Born in Americus, Ga., in 1858, the son of Bernard and Bertha
Greenewald, he spent his early years in the Georgia city, and as a
slender young man of 27 years he came to Spartanburg 33 years ago, and,
with his younger brothers, opened a clothing store, where Biber’s
jewelry store is now located. This store of the village was destined to
become one of the model merchantile establishments of the city of
Spartanburg and in making his career as a merchant. David Greenewald
achieved a distinct chapter in Spartanburg’s history and his life work
added dignity to the title AMerchant. He was in all things square and
upright; he was beloved of those from whom he purchased goods of those
to whom he sold and of his employees.
Occupied Prominent Place.
David Greenewald’s loss will be felt in every channel of
Spartanburg’s life, for he was a liberal and enthusiastic supporter of
all those enterprises that have been a part of the building of a better
city. He was a director of the Chamber of Commerce and of the Music
Festival association and was a member of the local lodge of Elks.
Mr. Greenewald’s brother, Moses Greenewald, and his sister, Miss
Hannah Greenewald, and two daughters, Mrs. Marshall G. Peck and Mrs.
James W. Cobb, and Mr. Cobb were in Baltimore with him at the end. His
sister was with him throughout.
Surviving are one sister, Miss Hannah Greenewald; three brothers,
Isaac H., Moses and Max [Greenewald], and two daughters Mrs. Marshall G.
Peck, of Anniston, Ala., and Mrs. James W. Cobb, of Spartanburg.
Yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, the following resolutions were passed:
Pass Resolutions.
Whereas, an all-wise Providence has seen fit to remove from our midst
David Greenewald, a citizen of Spartanburg and a member of the Board of
Directors of the Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce,
Now Therefore Be It Resolved, that Spartanburg has lost an esteemed
citizen who ever worked for the progress of the city, and the Board of
Directors of the Chamber of Commerce a valued member, and
Resolved, that this body express the sympathy of its members for the
family of the deceased in their bereavement, and
Resolved, further, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the
press and to the family of the deceased.
Board of Directors Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce
In addition to passing the resolutions the Chamber of Commerce sent a
telegram to the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce directing that that body
order a wreathe(sic.) of flowers and send [it] to the grave for
the local Chamber.

COHEN COMMITS SUICIDE WHILE IN PHILADELPHIA
Former Spartanburg Merchant Takes Own Life.
SHOCK TO LOCAL FRIENDS
Funeral Arrangements Not Yet Announced.
Friends of Jacob Cohen, formerly connected with Greenewald’s Inc.,
local mercantile firm and also a business man of Union, where he
conducted a clothing store, were shocked to learn yesterday that he had
taken his own life in a Philadelphia Hospital(sic.) Thursday
night, by shooting himself. Mr. Cohen was at the hospital for the
treatment of a nervous disease.
Funeral arrangements had not been announced last night.
Mr. Cohen became a member of the Greenewald firm in 1921, and
retained his interest until [the] close of 1922, when he sold out his
interest and devoted his time to his business in Union. While a resident
of Spartanburg, Mr. Cohen was prominent in civic matters, taking an
active part for many of the city-wide campaigns that were staged here.
The following sketch of Mr. Cohen’s life was received by The Herald
from its correspondent in Union:
Mr. Cohen came to Union in 1897, and by his industry and business
capability, built up a very large gents’ furnishing and clothing
business which is now being conducted under the name of J. Cohen
Company. He was also interested in other concerns here, among them being
Nicholson Bank and Trust Company, where he was a director.
In all civic, progressive and patriotic movements Mr. Cohen had, for
a long time, been a leader and large contributor, and thought several
years age he financially became interested in a large concern in
Spartanburg, he retained his business interests and other interests in
Union, and when he closed out his interest in Spartanburg, spent most of
his time here except when he had to be in hospitals, for during the past
two years his health has been very bad.
Mr. Cohen was born in Willua, Russia, his parents being Nathan G. and
Mrs. Lelia Gredman Cohen, both of Russia. At the age of 5 years, Mr.
Cohen entered a Jewish seminary for his religious training, but later
abandoned the idea of becoming a Rabbi in order to take up business to
which he has always been particularly adapted and succesful. When a
young man he was engaged in the cigarette and cigar manufacturing trade,
but after coming to America, embarked in the mercantile business
locating in Union in 1897.
In 1900, Mr. Cohen was married to Miss Jennie Emanuel, of Baltimore
who with the following children survive him: Miss Ruth Cohen, a special
student of music in Baltimore, Misses Blanche and Fannie Cohen, students
at Winthrop College, Misses Estelle and Judith Cohen and Master Elbert
Cohen, of Spartanburg.
Mr. Cohen was a great reader, a deep thinker, and man of a vast fund
of knowledge, being regarded in many respects as one of the best posted
men in Union. His death by removing him from his sphere of useful and
helpful influence in all that looked to the upbuilding of this
community, has caused wide spread sorrow and regret.
Funeral arrangements have not been announced.

MOSES GREENEWALD
News of the passing of Moses Greenewald in a Philadelphia hospital
this morning will be received with genuine sorrow and regret throughout
the city and county, where he was so well and favorably known. He had
been in failing health for a long time, and a month or more went to
Philadelphia for treatment.
Moses Greenewald was the head of Greenewald’s, succeeding his
brother, the late David Greenewald, when the latter died a decade ago.
[Actually only 7 years; in 1919.] About forty years ago the Greenewald
brothers came to Spartanburg and established a clothing business for
men. Continuously since that time they have successfully enlarged and
expanded that business, until it is known as one of the best established
of its kind in upper Carolina.
Moses Greenewald represented the high type business man who has
contributed to his town and generation. He was a man of integrity,
broad-mindedness and liberality, and for any object that had had the
public good and advancement in mind he was always in [the] front ranks
championing it. His progressiveness, liberal-minded nature and unselfish
contribution to his city’s growth for years has been commented on and
appreciated by his fellow-townsmen. He was the first fire chief of this
city, serving along with his colunteer force without compensation. By
nature he was modest and self-effacing, but his sterling worth and sound
character were acknowledged and admired by all. He will be sadly missed
from hte(sic.) ranks of those who are building a greater city
here.

4. I give and bequest to the Spartanburg Childrens Hospital, Rev. W.

died May 6th, 1937, and $150.00 for myself. This bequest of $300.00

of the institution. This bequest shall be consummated by my executrix
six months after my death.
5. I give to the Leo N. Levy Memorial Hospital of Hot Springs, Ark.,
$100.00 as a memorial to my brother Joel Spigel, who died May 6th, 1937,
on condition that his name be inscribed on the memorial table in the
hospital, and KADDISH be recited in his memory in the chapel of the
hospital on each recurring YAHRZEIT; I also give to the Leo N. Levy
Memorial Hospital of Hot Springs, Ark., $100.00, on condition that my
name, David M. Spigel, be inscribed on the memorial tablet of the
hospital and KADDISH be recited in my memory in the chapel of the
hospital on each recurring YAHRZEIT whenever that may be.
A ward in the Leo N. Levy Memorial Hospital at Hot Springs, Ark., has
heretofore been furnished as a memorial to my brother, Joel Spigel, late
of Spartanburg, South Carolina, who died on May 6th, 1937. This memorial
is now identified by a plat(sic.) on the main door of the ward. I
now donate and bequeath to the Trustees of the Leo N. Levy Memorial
Hospital at Hot Springs, Ark., the sum of Three Thousand ($3000.00)
Dollars in trust, and upon conditions and for the purposes as follows:
Of this amount $500.00 shall be used by the Trustees for
hospitalization of patients, who are not able to pay for the same, and
$2500.00 shall be deposited in the United States Postal Savings
Department under a deposit arrangement that interest shall accrue and be
payable on the 6th day of May each year. Thereafter on the 6th day of
May of each year for 25 years, there shall be withdrawn from this Postal
Savings Department all accrued interest and $100.00 of the principal to
be used for hospitalization of patients who are not able to pay for the
same.
The Trustees shall place another bronze plate under the plate now on
the door of the Joel Spigel ward and corresponding thereto in shape,
size and lettering, with an appropriate inscription showing [the]
additional donation of Three Thousand ($3000.00) Dollars to the memory
of Joel Spigel of Spartanburg, South Carolina. As soon as the bronze
plate above referred to has been installed, new photographs showing both
plates and also the inside of the ward shall be made and transmitted to
my wife, Daisy M. Spigel, for her approval. The memorial and the manner
of administering this fund shall at all times be subject to [the]
examination, inspection and approval of my wife, Daisy M. Spigel, and
she shall determine whether the funds are being administered according
to [the] instructions contained in this Will. As soon after the
publication of this Will as convenient, my executrix shall cause to be
transmitted to the Executive Secretary of the hospital, Miss Regina H.
Kaplan, a copy of the provision in this Will for the hospital, and the
Governing Board of the hospital shall by appropriate resolution notify
her that all the provisions, conditions and purposes of these bequests
for the hospital will be carried out. This bequest shall be consummated
six months after my death.
6. I give and bequeath to the Crippled Children Society, South
Carolina, Incorporated (Samuel R. Shillman, Executive Secretary of
Sumter, S. C.) the sum of $200.00. This gift is made as a memorial to my

by the Governing Board of [the] said Society as such, and an appropriate
record thereof entered in the permanent records of the said Society.
This bequest shall be consulated by my executrix six months after my
death.
7. I give and bequeath to the Spartanburg Jewish Synagogue, B’Nai
Israel, the sum of Four Thousand ($4000.00) Dollars to provide for the
following improvements to the building:
The inside woodwork to be revarnished, the walls and ceiling to be
redecorated and painted with oil paint to be a lasting job, and an
entirely new pulpit with fancy table where the preacher(sic.!)
stands, revision of the Ten Commandments, and an entirely new Ark of the
Covenant where the Torah, the Law of God, is kept. All the work is to be
done by expert workmen trained in that type of work. The work on the
pulpit and on the Ark of the Covenant shall have the general effect
indicated on the sketches I attach hereto, or new sketches to be made by
an architect. The two silver seven light candlesticks heretofore donated
to the Synagogue shall be mounted one on each side of the pulpit in such
a way as to render them permanently stationary. On the same pulpit wall
a bronze plate shall be installed in a prominent place not less than
18x30 inches in size inscribed in large English block letters: AIn
memory of Joel Spigel, who died May 6th, 1937, and David M. Spigel, who
died (to be filled in with the factual date).[] It would be the duty of
the preacher(sic.) in charge, and the president and officers of
the Synagogue, to recite KADDISH on the anniversary of the death of each
Joel Spigel and David M. Spigel, and burn a light for twenty-four hours,
and recite KADDISH in memory of each during each recur-rent YAHRZEIT.
The Four Thousand ($4000.00) Dollars shall be segregated by my executrix
in the Citizens and Southern National Bank of Spartanburg, to pay for
the work. I direct that my wife, Daisy M. Spigel, and the architect, who
will make the drawings, and my attorney, Jesse W. Boyd, shall see that
the work is done in a first class manner, and according to the purposes
of this donation. I further direct that with these improvements an
additional insurance policy of Four Thousand ($4000.00) Dollars shall be
taken out on the building.
8. I will and bequeath to the Trustees of the Columbia Hebrew
Benevolent Society of Columbia, S. C., in trust for the uses and
purposes herein mentioned and upon each the conditions stipulated the

be paid to them by my executrix six months after the effective date of
this Will.
Of this amount the sum of $250.00 shall be by them immediately paid
to the Treasurer of the Society and the balance shall be deposited in
the United States Postal Savings Department at Spartanburg, S. C., under
an agreement that interest shall accrue and be payable on the 6th day of
May each year, and thereafter the Trustees shall withdraw from the
savings all accrued interest and $100.00 of the principal and turn the
same over to the Treasurer of the Society. This fund shall constitute a
benevolence to be used by the Columbia Hebrew Benevolent Society, and to
be entered in a special book of the Society as the Spigel Brothers (Joel
Spigel and David M. Spigel) trust fund, and shall be used by the Society
to defray the burial expenses of such person or persons, if any, as they
shall find to have died without assets, means, insurance, or relatives
to provide a proper burial. In case no such instance is found in any
year, the money shall be kept by the Society for use in the same way in
succeeding years. All payments made to the Treasurer shall be kept by
him in a special deposit account in The Citizens and Southern National
Bank designated as Special Donation Collections in memory of Joel Spigel
and David Spigel of Spartanburg, S. C. Payment to the Treasurer shall be
continued as long as the conditions of this donation are complied with
by the Benevolent Society until the entire $2750.00 is so used. (See
