- OBITUARIES: Saint John newspaper, January 12, 1945, SB Series S-98 Dental Corps Officer Dies At 47 Overseas Major Frank Boyaner is Mourned : No Details in Message Word of the sudden passing of Major Frank Boyaner, D.DS. of the Royal Canadian Dental Corps, who had been on active service in Italy, reached the Boyaner family by cable today. The news had been a sad blow not only to the 47-year-old professional man’s immediate family circle, but to military authorities and other former close associates. The message from England gave no details as to what caused Major Boyaner’s death, though further word was promised. The assumption was, however, that it was not the result of accident. Nor was it stated exactly where his death occurred, but presumably it was in Brighton, England. Late letters to relatives outlined the Saint John officer’s plans for returning home early next month, not later than March. He anticipated with much pleasure getting back to the homeland with his English bride. Major Boyaner who was in the uniform of a lieutenant of the Detachment Royal Canadian army Dental Corps one day ahead of the actual declaration of war, was largely instrumental in organizing that branch of the service here and was its first officer commanding. He left Canada with the rank of captain and received his majority in England two years ago. Besides strenuous activity at training bases he served with the Dental Corps in Malta, throughout the campaign in Sicily and a whole year in Italy. Returning to England a few months ago, Major Boyaner learned with much satisfaction that he might be privileged to visit home early in the new year. He was married in Sussex County, England in July 1942 to Hazel Morris, who with her husband was looking forward to the resumption of the dentist’s professional practice in Saint John where plans were afoot to acquire a home. Major Boyaner was the youngest son of the late Don and Kate Boyaner. His father established the optometrist’s business here carried on by his sons, nearly 40 years ago. Mrs. Boyaner, the mother, was a sister of the late Abraham Poyas, jeweler and Mrs. Samuel Goldfeather, this city. Surviving brothers and sisters of Major Boyaner’s are Louis and Eli of Boyaner Bros. Optometrists; Harry I. Boyaner, Vancouver; Mrs. Norman Smith and Mrs. Bertha, wife of Captain Maurice Elman, on active duty. There are six nieces and nephews. In professional circles he organized the Alpha and Omega Club, a fraternity confined to dental doctors. A member of Shaarei Zedek Congregation, the late officer lent personal effort and financial support from his youth and was a charter member of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association. Previous to going on active service he was member of the Non-Permanent Active Militia Boyaner, Major Frank Mr. and Mrs. Eli Boyaner reached home from New York at mid-day today not having heard the news of Major Boyaner’s passing until they arrived at their residence. (Saint John newspaper) SB Series 98, no. 6, p. 161 Tuesday, January 31, 1945 Last tribute Paid to Major Boyaner Impressive Funeral Services of Saint John Officer Held in England Word received here by the Boyaner family from Capt. Morris Elman, overseas, a brother-in-law of the late Major Frank Boyaner of the Canadian Dental Corps, tells of Mr. Boyaner’s funeral in England. The obsequies took place on January 15, with Major Gershon Levi, Chaplin officiating. Lt.-Col. H. S. Bland, Protestant padre, stationed for some time in this city was present at the ceremony Major Boyaner’s memory was honored by the presence of colonels of three Canadian units, six lieutenant colonels and other ranking officers. Eight sergeants of the late citizen’s Saint John Unit were pallbearers. Captain Elman reports the funeral services to have been most impressive, following in detail the military order. As the Last Post was sounded and before fellow officers stepped to his open grave and saluted, some of the doctor’s comrades in the air force flew their bomber low over the scene and dipped wings in recognition. Major Boyaner’s English wife and her relatives and Canadian Soldiers of various units paid their respects to their fellow countryman. Recent reports state that Major Boyaner’s sudden death was due to an outbreak of infection thought to have been contracted in Italy. The Evening Times Globe / SB98, p. 161 January 13, 1945, page 12 Major Frank Boyaner, of The Canadian Dental Corps and a former dentist in this city, word of whose death was received by the Boyaner family here yesterday. He had returned to England recently after extended service in Italy and the Mediterranean theatre of war. (Original article accompanied by photograph) Gravestone reference code(s): JM 998.61.400.

- Card with embossed border, handwritten note around edge, Removed Darnley Road 1 E-9 Hackney Mare Street. Business card from N. Lessof. Narrative: Isaac Herbert Isselbacher was born 1919-11-20 in Isselbach, Germany. His brother was Helmut Isselbacher, born 1921-12-20. Their father was Jacob Isselbacher, born 1883-08-05. They had an uncle and aunt, David and Betty Loewenstein, who lived in New York City with their two children. Isaac left Germany on 1939-07-29, hoping to join his relatives in NYC. He only had the time to get to London, England before the war broke out and started working in a factory. He was arrested at his workplace as an ‘enemy alien’ and sent to Canada for internment in 1940. Isaac was interned in Camp N in Sherbrooke, Quebec. He was drafted into the Works Program Division for woodworking and net-making. In 1940, he received a last letter from his parents which suggested their imminent deportation. After his release, circa November 1942, Isaac worked as a locksmith. He married Fanny Azeff on 1943-12-26 at the Bnai Jacob synagogue in Montreal. Fanny was born on 1921-12-23 in Canada, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Azeff. Isaac was naturalized as a Canadian citizen on 1946-06-08. Fanny was naturalized on 1946-08-30 (she had lost her citizenship by marrying Isaac). Isaac’s brother, Helmut Isselbacher, was deported with Transport XXII A from Dossin casern in Mechelen (Malines), Belgium to Auschwitz Birkenau, Poland on 1943-09-20. Of the 2,450 people on the transport, 100 men were selected to work –including Helmut- and the remainder prisoners were gassed. Helmut was made to work as a welder, and was soon fitting new pipes for the gas chamber. He suffered a nervous breakdown as a result. As he was a valued welder, he was transferred to a labour camp in Upper Silesia (Poland) where he remained for two years. As the Russian army advanced, the 6,000 prisoners of this camp were evacuated by train. Helmut remembered being forced to march as the other prisoners died from exhaustion. When liberation was announced, the survivors travelled by ship from Luebeck, Germany, to Sweden with the aid of the Red Cross. After recovery, Helmut decided to remain in Sweden as a welder. Upon learning of his brother’s survival, Helmut travelled to New York in April 1946 to meet with him and their Loewenstein relatives. Afterwards, Helmut travelled to Canada bringing with him a washing machine and bras as late wedding presents for his brother and Fanny. By 1946-08-12, their parents were presumed dead and the two sons inquired into their estate. They received a deed for the land and travelled to the estate to discover that the current owner of their house was their old maid and her son had become the town mayor. Various disputes arose with the current ‘owners’ who believed the Isselbacher family dead. Isaac wished to discuss a settlement, but the mayor’s mother –not realizing Fanny understood German- called the neighbours at work to warn them not to come home as the Isselbacher sons had resurfaced. Payment for the land had reportedly been sent to Israel, though no documentation could be provided.
