MRS. RACHAEL COHEN
Mrs. Rachael Cohen, Cameron's
oldest Jewish resident, died at her
home in that city Saturday afternoon
October 26, at 4 o’clock, after an
illness which extended over a period
of several months.
Mrs. Cohen was born in Germany '
but came to this country when a
child. She grew up in New York City
and has always been a loyal, hard-
working, self-sustaining American.
She was married to Michael Cohen
in New York and immediately came
to Texas and made their home in
this city for many years. They moved
to Cameron 35 years ago and engag-
ed in, a general merchandising busi-
ness. Mrs. Cohen was a faithful help
meet and assisted materially in build-
ing up a good business which the
firm still enjoys. She was a kind-
.hearted woman, always a friend to
the poor and needy, and many a
package was quietly slipped into the
baskets of her needy customers for
which no charge was ever made.
After she advanced in years and
her children relieved her of active
business cares, it was a familiar
sight to see her seated in her rocking
chair in front of her place of business
ready with a friendly greeting and
a word of cheer for all who passed.
She raised a, family of eight chil-
dren, five daughters and three sons.
Four of these children live in Cam-
eron three being in the home with

the youth earned his livelihood by
teaching, and spent his scanty leisure
hours studying law. Having labori-
ously saved the necessary capital, he
entered a notary’s office, where he
served as clerk. In 1832 he was duly
admitted to the Bar of Louisiana. In
1834 he published a “Digest of Re-
ported Decisions of the Supreme
Court of the late Territory of Or-
leans and of the Supreme Court of
Louisiana,” an invaluable work—the

New Orleans lawyer—which he had
