History / Biographical: Abraham Kert arrived in Canada in 1885 from Lithuania. He landed in Montreal and worked as a farmer and fur trader in Lancaster, Ontario, and in various locations in Quebec including Lachute, Harrington Lake (near Thurso), and in Buckingham where there were five other Jewish families. Around 1900, he moved his family to Ottawa “for the social possibilities for his daughters." Abraham Kert married twice and had two families. In Ottawa, Abraham was involved in peddling and in selling jewelry. He was an active member of the Adath Jeshurun Congregation and for many years he maintained the Ottawa Jewish Cemetery on Bank Street.

Notes: Abraham Kert’s birth date is problematic. He was likely born sometime between 1847 and 1856. (The 1901 census indicated is age as 45 years, giving him a birth date of 1856. His headstone in the Ottawa Jewish Cemetery gives his age as 97, with a death year of 1944, indicating his birth year would be 1847.)
