Widow of Schmulia Oscher Koblenz. Geisa operated a profitable rag business in Daugavpils, by which she supported her invalid husband and children. She died in Daugavpils in 1916 while under the care of her daughter Sora and her family.
Children, Mordchel/Mottel Koblenz/ Max Koblentz, Idel Koblenz / Julius Koblentz, Sora Freda Koblenz Wolk and Chaim Koblenz, Hyman Koblentz all made it to America before 1939.
We know that based on family records, that the burial took place in Dvinsk.
As to why this should be on Find A Grave: All of the Jewish Graves containing remains in the area of in the Pale of Settlement proximate to Daugavpils, Latvia were defiled, destroyed by the occupying Nazi Government, and those that escaped that fate were distrurbed, defiled or buried under construction projects paid for by the Anti Semtic Soviet backed government that ruled in Latvia between the end of WWII and the fall of the communist government. This is a well documented fact of the outcome of first Hitler and then Stalin's rule over the area. This is not a lazy man's way of adding to Find A Grave, but a conclusion by world reknown historians, and by Yad Vashim. What are Jews to do when targeted by this level of hatred? Forget the dead? No. This has every right to be on Find A Grave.
