From the 1900 federal census for
Detroit: Abraham E. Bofsky was born
in Russian Poland in December 1865;
he was a naturalized U.S. citizen. His
wife Anna Bofsky was born in
Michigan in July 1872.
Their children were Mable (or
Mabel), a daughter, born in Illinois in
April 1892; Silvina (in the 1910 cen-
sus she is shown as Sylvia), daughter,
born in Illinois in April 1894; Frank
(J. Frank in the 1910 census), son,
born in Illinois in January 1896.
The federal census of 1910 shows
two other children: Milton, age 8,
born in Michigan; Feiga, age not
recorded, born in Michigan.
The first listing for Abraham
Bofsky in the Detroit City Directory
is in the 1896 edition. His last listing
appears in the 1915 edition. He
worked as a manager of the Detroit
Neckwear Company (Isaac Weinstein,
proprietor). By at least 1905, he
owned Michigan Neckwear Company.
By at least 1914, he was in the real
estate business.
For a short while (circa 1914), his
son J. Frank Bofsky owned the Home
Rental Exchange. Frank's partner in
the business was Arthur C. Cohen.

Harry Chaloff was my father's uncle.
At the time he died, he lived in the
old Jewish Home for Aged (Borman
Hall) on W. Seven Mile in Detroit.
He had two daughters, Esther Lebow
and Isabelle Politzer.
Before retirement, he had a laun-
dry, possibly on Warren. He died
some time in the mid-1960s, probably
between 1964 and 1968.
