Harry Ruben Lieberman


Hebrew name: Rephael Hanan ben Israel Avraham Ha cohen
Dumes Key: ACC The 'Dumes Key' is an easy way to determine someone's place in the family tree.

At the top of the tree are brothers Chaim (A), Jossel-Leib (B) and Schender (C). Each generation adds a letter; the letter represents your birth order, A for the 1st, B for the 2nd, etc.

So Sarah, first child of Chaim, is AA. Her husband, Jacob Kaplan, is Aa, the lower-case a indicating that he married into the Dumes family.

I've also used the lower-case letter for my two step-sons to indicate a non-bloodline Dumes relationship.


b. 09 Jul 1920 Evansville, Indiana
d. 09 Jun 1926 Evansville, Indiana

In regards to Harry's untimely death, Jethro Lieberman writes:

The story I always heard from my father is that the boys were playing baseball and that Uncle Hy threw a ball that hit the first Harry in the head, injuries to which killed him. Whether immediately or not I don't know.

Mom says the first Harry died around age 6 or 7? Someone hit him in the head with a baseball bat while playing baseball. She doesn't know who was swinging the bat.
