wil family, many of whom con-
tinue to reside in Detroit.
Milton Marwil, of West
Bloomfield, was a young boy
when his grandparents,
Nathan and Rachel Mar-
wilsky, died. They were im-
migrants — Nathan from
Lithuania, Rachel from East
Prussia — who settled on
Gratiot, where they had a
general store.
Religious people, they were
the parents of three sons and
One daughter. Those were the
ones who lived. There had
been more — infants who per-
ished soon after birth, a
daughter whose life ended in
a fire.
The Marwils settled in
Texas, New York, Oklahoma
and Missouri in addition to
Michigan. Rep. Martin Frost,
a Democrat from Texas, is the
son of a Marwil.
Robert Marwil, Milton's
father, was president of Con-
gregation Shaarey Zedek and
the United Hebrew Schools in
the 1920s.
Another section in the Free
Sons of Israel Cemetery be-
longs to the Ascher family,
headed by Bertha and Simon.
They were natives of Ger-
many, and both were 25 when
they immigrated to the United
States.
Simon, a tailor, later served
as president of the Montefiore
Lodge.
One of their 10 children was
Morris Ascher, who owned a
drugstore near Harper Hos-
pital in Detroit. The physi-
cians liked the place and often
came to visit. Early on, Mor-
ris was an advocate of a new
medicine they were all talk-
ing about. Sold in powder form
in small, square, flat card-
board containers, it was white
and bore the name "aspirin."
Another of the Ascher chil-
dren was Abe, who was active
in politics.
The Aschers were Herman
Neuman's great-grandpar-
ents. They died before the re-
tired policeman, who lives in
Detroit, was born.
But he does remember oth-
ers buried at Free Israel, like
his grandmother, Jennie My-
ersohn, who was widowed at
34. Her husband, Herman (af-
ter whom Mr. Neuman is
named), died in an epidemic
of typhoid fever. Jennie never
remarried.
Although Max Neuman
was not an Ascher, he is
buried with his in-laws in the
Ascher section of the cemetery.
He was Herman's father.
"He came here from Poland
in 1915, when he was 13 years
old," Mr. Neuman says. "He
was the kind of guy who could
keep up with foreign affairs
and business with the best of
them."
Like his in-laws, Max Neu-
man belonged to Temple Beth
El — a family tradition that
continues to today. "I'm fourth-
generation Beth El," Herman
says.
Max Neuman was in the
soft-drink business; his wife,
Rosalind (who is still alive),
was a homemaker. Like the
rest of the women of her day,
she kept things clean by
sweeping dirt through a small
chute at the bottom of the
floor, so it all fell under the
house. Of course, that's back
when cattle still were herded
through the street, so dust
was everywhere.
Max grew up in a village
about 40 miles outside War-
saw, where Cossack raids
were anything but uncom-
mon. He came to the United
States in 1915, and he was
always grateful to be here.
"He used to say, People
don't know how hungry they
are until they have to eat
grass soup,' " Herman says.
Herman Neuman often vis-
its his father's grave, as well
as those of his many relatives
buried at the Free Sons of Is-
rael Cemetery. He looks after
the family plots. But he ac-
knowledges that most of the
place is pretty desolate.
"There are some grave-
stones out there that are re-
ally worn down, you can't even
read them," he says. "It's
sad."

Monogram presents the first
36", 42", and 48" cabinet-friendly built-in refrigerators.
Giving custom kitchen design-
ers greater freedom of choice is
one of the blessings of the
Monogram' line for 1 994.
Nowhere is this more apparent
than in our three new built-in
refrigerators.
All offer the sleekness of flush
design with innovative customized
features. For example, they each
accept a 3/4 inch decorative
panel on the door with no trim or
overlapping edges. Custom door
handles can be mounted on the
panel to match the handles on
the cabinets for a totally
integrated appearance. Even the
decorative panel on the freezer
door can be customized to fit
snugly around the dispenser
recess.
The shallow case makes the
entire unit flush with the cabinets.
A decorative panel runs across
the upper grill area, and because
there is no bottom_ vent, the toe-
kick panel can extend from the
cabinet across the base of the
refrigerator. The interior is
designed for the flexible space
adjustments, efficient storage,
and easy cleaning.
The new refrigerators also
come with the assurance of the
industry's most extensive network
of factory service professionals, as
well as the extraordinary GE
Answer Center® service on duty
24 hours a day every day of the
year at 800.626.2000. Please call
and let us send you a brochure.
