Ann (Hannah Dvosha) Dworkin and Daisy the Cow
They are pictured in front of Ann's boarding house on 8th Avenue E., Calgary. Granam and Ann Dworkin arrived in Calgary in 1913 from Gomel, Russia, where he had been a herbalist. Unable to practice his profession or to adjust to life in Canada, he left his family and moved to Palestine where he was killed in an Arab uprising in 1926. He is buried on the Mount of Olives. His wife remained in Calgary and supported the family by taking in boarders.
