Two pioneers of the Minneapolis Jewish community died here this week. Peter Dworsky, 64, a resident of this city for the past fifty years, died at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Gustave Frankel, while Mrs. Ida Mary Kahn, 70, a Minneapolis resident for twenty-nine years, succumbed at her home. Both had been extremely interested in numerous Jewish affairs in the city.
In addition to his daughter, Mrs. Frankel, Mr. Dworsky is survived by another daughter, Beatrice, and three sons, Bernard, Zola and Dr. Samuel Dworsky. Mrs. Kahn is survived by five sons, Samuel, Benjamin, Frank, Max and Abe, and three daughters, Mrs. Israel Barron and Elie Kahn, all of Minneapolis, and Mrs. Herman Katz, Little Falls, Minn.
