Dr. Shoshana Buchmil, noted worker in the cause of Labor Zionism, died here yesterday at the age of fifty-seven.
Dr. Buchmil was born in Russia, in the schools and universities of which she was educated. She engaged in the practice of medicine, her surviving husband also being a physician.
She became interested in the Poale Zion (Labor Zionist) movement early in her youth and was one of the earliest colonists in Palestine, where she settled as long ago as 1905. In 1909, she went to the United States as a guest of the Poale Zion movement there in order to urge the need for colonists to Palestine. She was known to be a very persuasive speaker.
