They came with four children: Fanny(Manolson, Sam (1899-1971), Bertha and Isadore (Izzy,1903-1957). George, the youngest son, was born in Calgary, but died in 1926 at the very young age of ten.

      Isadore Kline married Constance Lawrence in 1936. Constance Kline is still a well-known piano teacher in Calgary.

      Abush worked at hard labour, earning $3.00 a week. Jewish life was very important and the family was observant. Each week they put aside 25 cents for Jewish welfare.

      As immigrant families arrived the Klines took them in, and there were always several "extra" people staying in the house until they could get jobs.

      Eventually Abush went into the cattle business with his son Izzy, and later took in his son-in-law Morris Manolson.

      In subsequent years the Klines brought over nieces and nephews of Mrs. Kline -the Sheftel and Pearlmutter families.

      Abush Kline passed away in 1935 at 69. Ruchel died in 1949.

      The Libin brothers started their trek to Calgary in 1912. Norman Libin was the first to come. His good friend Henry Belkin was already in Calgary and Norman joined him.

      Norman was followed to Calgary by his brother Sam Libin in 1913, and by Harry Libin in 1914. Mordechai-Leib and Baila Libin, their par- ents, came in 1922, along with brother Henry and sister Rose.

      The last to arrive was the oldest brother, Saul Libin with is wife Sonia, and with their sons Joseph, Sidney and Leslie in February of 1926. They were accompained by their niece Rose Hendin, who eventually married Sam Libin.

      Patriarch Mordechai-Leib Libin died in 1924;Baila Libin passed away in 1931.

      Saul Libin(1885-1957), the oldest of the brothers, was married to Sonia Roginsky(1895-1976). They had five children:Joseph (who married Minnie Shurvel), Sidney (Jean Shulman), Leslie (Edna Theobald), Frances (Simon Sigal) and Philip (Harriet Sheftel).

      Sam Libin(1890-1986) married Rose Hendin and had two sons: Bernard (Esther Shafron, Phyllis Kuntz) and Gilbert(Lynn Barry, later Mary Kiss).

      Norman Libin(1885-1957), married Ethel Shapiro (1895-1955) and they had three children: Leon (Beryl Zivot), Muriel (David Kovitz) and Alvin (Mona Diamond).

      Harry Libin (1897-1973) married Ruth Karsh (1907-1987). They, too, had three children: Morton (Frances Lavin) Lorne, married to Salla, and Bernice(Grosvenor Anschell, later William Cohen).

      Rose Libin, the only sister who came to this country, married Joe Shankman, and they had two children: Clarice (Harry Weitz, Heinz Kroeger) and Lionel, married to Paula.

      Norman, Sam and Harry struggled at mental jobs for several years. Eventually they went into the grocery business, each independently of the other.

      Norman originated the Shop Rite stores, and later founded the Palace Bakery which grew to be a large prominent commercial bakery. He was involved in many varied business enterprises and in 1961 entered the hotel business. Along with the Sheftel Brothers, Leo Paperny and the

Crystal family, Norman opened the Highlander Motor Inn. He was a very active community leader.

      Sam operated general stores at Strathmore and Gleichen. Later he ven- tured into the appliance business and then into real estate.

      Harry, after many years in the grocery business, along with his sons Lorne and Morton, pioneered one of the first large independent appliance stores in Calgary - Radio Centre - later branching out into household furniture.

      Henry was also a grocer until he sold his store and joined forces with his brother-in-law Joe Libin and entered the construction and development business. They were instrumental in developing the Highfield Industrial Park in Calgary. Henry was a leading Calgary Philanthropist.

      Saul and his wife Sonia operated the Lorraine Confectionery on 4th Street S.W. from the early 1930's until he retired in 1953. He went to work for his brother Norman at the Palace Bakery.

      Rose Libin and her husband Joe Shankman also operated a grocery store. Rose was left a very young widow and eventually worked at Shop Rite for her brother Norman. She married Joe Katz and moved to St. Paul, After the death of Joe Katz, Rose married Joe Ludman.

      The Libin brothers and their families were a close family. All the major holidays were celebrated at the home of Saul and Sonia Libin, which seemed to be the gathering place for the Libin family.

      In 1913 Mair Madorsky left his wife and child at their home in Chedrin, White Russia, and travelled to Canada with his three brothers- in-law: Bernie, Izzie and Sam Aisenstat.

      He had planned to earn money and quickly send for his family, but the Great War and the Russian Revolution intervened. After enduring ter- rible hardships in Russia, his wife Alta and daughter Molly finally arrived in Calgary in 1922.

      Mair worked as a CPR tracklayer. He peddled furs and metals in Southern Alberta and then opened the American Hide & Fur Company at 6th Avenue and 4th Street S.E.

      When he closed his business in 1941, he went into cattle ranching. He had ranches just northeast of Cochrane, and later at Nose Creek. He and Avremka Levine also had a dairy farm in Strathmore, which had pre- viously been the CPR Experimental Farm.

      Mair always helped his fellow man, whether by co-signing notes at the bank, or opening his home to travellers from all over Canada. During the Second World War, the Madorsky home was open to servicemen from all over the world, especially during Passover and the High Holidays.

      Mair Madorsky died in 1962, Alta in 1966. They had three children: Molly (Ben Shugarman), Alice (Jack Adler) and Archie Madorsky.

      In 1912 Sam Maerov emigrated from Sirage, Russia, to Canada with 16-year-old Rubin, the oldest of his five sons. They were to sail from England on the Titanic, but Ruben fell ill and they left on the next ship.

      Sam's wife Sophie Maerov and their remaining children, sons Louis, Alec, and Ben and Morris (the surviving set of three sets of twins), fol- lowed in 1913, and the family settled in Calgary in the Riverside district.
