Funeral services were held on Sunday for Mrs. Bath Sheba Grabelsky, wife of the Zionist worker, B. Grabelsky, who was known as a pioneer patron of Hebrew culture in this country.
The body of Mrs. Grabelsky, which will ultimately be taken to Palestine for burial, was temporarily interred in Mount Carmel Cemetery.
Her husband and three children survive. Mr. Grabelsky formerly served as treasurer of the Zionist organization of America.
Both have been prominently identified with Zionist activity in this country, particularly with the propagation of Hebrew culture.
Mrs. Grabelsky financed the publication of a children’s magazine in Hebrew.
