Ike Dubisky, who was believed to have been the nation’s oldest Jewish veteran, was buried today in the Hebrew Cemetery here. He died yesterday at the age of 99, leaving a record of service in the Spanish-American War and subsequent activity in Baltimore patriotic celebrations.
Mr. Dubinsky, a Russian-born baker, enlisted as an infantryman with the 4th Regiment of Virginia Infantry and served with that unit in the Spanish-American War. He was then 44 years old.
