Notes for Jacob Wilker:
From Larry Wilker, 12/01: Our grandfather was a copper- smith who made stills for bootleggers. He died at the age of 35 from cancer of the eye (ugh). He and our grandmother entered the US in Boston. I Have often thought of going through the shipping records to see if I could find the boat. One came from Vilnius, Poland the other from Russia. I get mixed up which came from which.
