Ely Greenblatt, Organizer of Farm
Cooperatives, Called by Death at 83

Long before the world began
to hear of experts in matters
of cooperative farming, a sturdy
Polish-born Jewish lad began to
introduce ideas for cooperation
among Eastern farmers and cre-
ated a record which made him a '
national figure. Ely Greenblatt,
well-known to Detroiters, was
equally as famous among Jewish
farmers in Connecticut and New
Jersey. He was a Pioneer in the
settlement of • refugee children
and farmers in Michigan and in
Canada and was one of the or-
ganizers of the farming enter-
prise in Alicia, Mich., known as
the Sunrise Colony.
Those who knew him believed
that he would live to be 150, so
sturdy was this interesting man.
But the numerous activities,
Which kept him going until his
80th year, were too much for
him, and he becaine ill several
months ago. He died last Friday
at the age of 83. Funeral services
were held Sunday at the Chesed
shel Emes, where a large num-
ber of his friends and former
acquaintances paid him final
tribute. Rabbi Joshua S. Sperka
officiated. Burial was in the
cemetery 'of Mezrtcher Society,
of which he was one of the or-
ganizers.
He is survived by his wife,
Yetta; four daughters, Mrs. An-
na Mann, Mrs. Esther Kuhn, Mrs.
Lillian Kovarsky and Mrs. Helen
Switzer; three sons, David, Leon
and Ben; two brothers, Nathan
and Pesach; 10 grandchildren,
and one great-grandchild.

Mr. Greenblatt, who made his
home in DeLand, Fla., during the
last few years, came to this coun-
try in 1886 and settled in Detroit
in 1923. In the interim — and
thereafter — he drew nationwide
attention with his numerous
projects.
In Detroit, he founded the Mel-
bourne Construction Co. and
amassed a fortune which he lost
in his farming enterprises.
His main interest was to en-
courage Jews to go back to farm-
ingr. Himself becoming a farmer
upon his arrival in Connecticut
in 1886, he started cooperative
movements, and founded the first
Jewish-sponsored creamery at
Bothford, near Bridgeford, Conn.
His experience as a farmer stood
him in good stead when, after
World War I, he went to Europe
as a member of Herbert Hoov-1
er's food mission, and in 1926
when he went to kurope again
as a member of a JDC delega-
tion.
On his latter -=mission, he or-
ganized the movement to take 98
Jewish orphans out of Poland.
He went to Georgetown, Ontario,
organized a cooperative farm to
which he brought the youngsters
for settlement on this continent.
In 1927 he came to Detroit with
many of these orphans for a con-
cert and enlisted the support of
many Detroit Jews for his proj-

ect. At the Georgetown farm, the
orphans were taught also various
trades, including tailoring, car-
pentry and plumbing.
In 1932, Mr. Greenblatt was
one of the organizers of the Sun-
rise Colony at Alicia, Mich., on
10,000 acres of land. Jews from
Detroit, Los Angeles, New York
and other communities partici-
pated in this half million dollar
project which collapsed primari-
ly because many of ,the settlers
could not fit ' into a collective
system.
Mr. Greenblatt was a former

Until the last man dropped

Even when the earth was shov-
elled over those who were dead
and half dead, I continued my
song. Telltale undulating patches
of ground bespoke last desperate
struggles for survival; but per-
haps the El Mole Rachamin mel-
ody soothed in some small meas-
ure the hour of death as it came
to 2,000 of my fellow human be-
ings."
These words herald one of the
most unusual and dramatic can-
torial recordings ever made. Re-
leased by Mercury Record Corp.,
