OBITUARIES
Wishing all our family and
friends a year of
health and happiness
Ethel Elconin
Ethel Chover Elconin, linking
the activities of the Chover and
Elconin families, was for at
least three decades of her 87
years a consistent participant in
major women's movements here.
She was especially active in
Hadassah, Histadrut, the Labor
Zionist movement, and was
associated with the Jewish Na-
tional Fund and related move-
ments. Her interest in Israel re-
lated to the leadership of many
in her family, including her
nephew George (Mike) Zeltzer,
former president of the Jewish
Welfare Federation. Her inter-
ests extended to social service
agencies affiliated with Federa-
tion.
A school teacher for more
than 40 years, she had the dis-
tinction of being among the very
first in Michigan to be a teacher
for the deaf. She also had impor-
tant roles in the history and lit-
erature departments of Cody
High School and Durfee Junior
High School.
"My aunt was among the most
charitable people in our midst,"
Zeltzer said. "She had many so-
cial instincts that inspired her
in her work in the public school
system, as an affiliate among
other movements with the
Sholem Aleichem Institute and
her devotion to Israel and
Zionism. She was truly a leader
in all these affiliations."
Mrs. Elconin, who died Sept.
6, is survived by. Mrs. Rose
Goberman and Mrs. Joseph Op-
penheim; two grandchildren,
five great-grandchildren and
nieces and nephews.
