Arnold, Me again. I have been forwarding your Sioux City articles to my cousin Eric. He is the great grandson of David Davidson, and Herman is his grandfather. Eric has been emailing your pieces to his brothers who along with Eric are very appreciative of your research and writing. Eric is the only one living in Sioux City. I think you two need to connect. Eric is a historian and of course has memorabilia and stories of Younker Davidson as well as the family legacy. Eric now plays mahjong at the last synagogue. Eric's grandmother and my grandfather were siblings. Eric and I did not know each other growing up in Sioux City as our grandparents had a feud. Ironically, they are buried about ten steps from each other. Last summer when we attended a burial and wondered if the grandparents were still arguing. Thank you.
Yes Arnold another well-researched piece. You need to.connect with my Sioux City cousin who is a grandson of one of the mentioned families. He is history and family lore keeper. I have been forwarding your pieces to him. Again, Sioux City greatly benefited from its Jewish settlers.
Great information
Outstanding column on little-known but important chapters of Iowa history. Thank you, Arnie!
A fascinating read that reminds us we are all connected to faraway places in ways we often cannot imagine. Timely. Important.
Would be happy to connect with Eric. My email is agharson@gmail
