Philip: Let's do Papineau. The east side on Papineau, from Beaubien going towards St Zotique.
	Nebach. He had a hardware store. His daughter's name was was Pearly. I remember her
	as a very good student. Mr Nebach acted as the arbitrator whenever there was something
	to be settled among the Papineau people. He was known for his fairness and for his wiseness.
	They would always call on him. Next to Nebach was Tilner.

Yetta Katcher Nebach




Israel Nebach


"My grandparents were Israel and Yetta Nebach who lived on Papineau. My mother is also one of their daughters,
Molly Nebach (Zavalkoff) . She was beautiful and brilliant and very proud of being a Nebach.  My grandparents had
a cow in the backyard and bathed my mother in cow's milk. My mom graduated from McGill in 1935.
Pearl Maritzer is her younger sister. I remember going to my grandparents store in the 50s when it was an electrical
appliance store. People would watch the hockey games through the store window.  Grandpa died in 1958 from
Parkinson's disease. Grandma died in 1962. She was an outstanding, giving woman."

"My parents --Israel and Yetta Nebach -- had a hardware store on Papineau corner Beaubien
from approximately 1914 to the mid l940s. I remember the Teitelbaum family.
My sister Molly graduated McGill in 1935. She studied economics with Stephen Leacock.
I also went to Earl Grey but i went via Beaubien & not thru the quarry like your father."


Pearl has sent me a lot of information on various Papineau people, most of it has been included
on the website.

She also wrote:
"Mr Tilner, the barber. cut my hair Buster Brown style. He had a dog and he spoke Yiddish to the dog.
I couldnt believe as a kid that there was a Jewish dog. After school I went to Fleishers for a double header 
ice cream cone for FIVE CENTS."
