Notes for MAX LICHTENSTEIN: Max was born Uschisoff, son of Doctor Joseph (c.1795-c.1885, ex Vitebsk) and Freda, in Mesel (Memel?), North Germany and trained to be a Doctor there. He joined his cousin Louis Paykel, also a son of a Doctor, (born in Odessa, Russia in 1873) at the Hospital and Medical College, Ekaterinoslav, South Russia (now known as Dnepropetrovsk) to complete medical studies. Between 1835 and 1917 Jews in Russia were forced by law to live in the “Pale of Settlement”, an area stretching between the Baltic and the Black Sea and embracing Odessa and Ekaterinoslav. Poverty and anti-Semitism were rife. Whenever a disaster such as an outbreak of cholera or animal disease occurred, the Jews were blamed and a wave of pogroms would erupt. They would be beaten tortured and murdered by mobs of Cossacks who roamed through the streets and burnt houses. In 1827 the Tsar decreed that each Jewish community would deliver up a quota of military recruits. They were to serve 25 years from the age of 18 but could be drafted from 12. Whilst in the Army, strenuous efforts were made to convert them to Christianity. Families not only lost their sons but their religious succession. (See http://www.friends-partners.org/partners/beyond…pale/index.htm/ )

In 1893, probably mid-summer, Max and Louis escaped Russia, possibly under hay in a cart and are thought to have travelled across Europe bribing border guards. They caught a ship to New York, where they learnt English at night school. They probably also lived in Sheboygan near Milwaukee where Louis’ brothers and sisters had settled. Albert and Max Paykel later married their cousins (Max Uschisoff’s sisters) Rika (1865-1930) and Ida (1867-1942), the girls having changed their surnames to Usow. Both couples plus Louis’ younger sister Leah and her husband Benjamin Burman migrated to New Zealand between 1897 and 1900.

After about a year Max and Louis went to Belgium and sailed from Antwerp for Australia in the SS Somerfield, arriving in Port Adelaide early in 1895. While Louis worked in Adelaide, Max visited Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and sailed on to Auckland, arriving in May 1895 with £5 in his pocket but he was, at least, in a country free from oppression. Max soon advised Louis of the business opportunities presented by the flourishing Kauri Gum industry in Northland and Louis joined him, arriving with less in his pocket than had Max. Believing he would be better accepted in business, Louis, son of Aaron, changed he name to Louis Arnoldson. Peter Lichtenstein thinks his grandfather Max simply adopted the name of the European Principality to rid himself of his Russian surname.

Kauri gum is the resin of kauri trees. It oozes through fractures in the bark and congeals, forming lumps which fall to the ground where it becomes buried by layers of forest debris. Some was found on the surface but most was found at different depths and recovered by diggers. They drove metal rods into the ground to detect the deposits. The Northern gumfields were no land of milk and honey, but a wasteland of wet rushes, scrub and coarse fern. The magnificent kauri forests of thousands of years ago had long since vanished. (David notes that the Kauri was widely and extensively exploited from the early 1800’s until it was almost totally cleared by the 1930’s but. there are still lots in the Waipoua Kauri Forest. Graham recalls piles of limbs of kauri trees being burnt on Don McCathies’s farm at upper Waiwera around the late 1930’s. The knot-free trunks were lopped at the first branch, often over a hundred feet from the ground. The waste was appalling by modern standards). The gum was cleaned of dirt and exported, mainly to America and England where it was an important constituent of high grade varnish and, from 1910, in the manufacture of linoleum. The Maoris used gum for chewing (it was passed from mouth to mouth), to light fires and for tattooing.

By the end of 1895 the cousins had opened their first store at Matakohe and established a firm named Lichtenstein and Arnoldson, Kauri Gum Merchants, Importers and Storekeepers. The store was in three divisions – a general store, one for produce of all kinds, the third for kauri gum. Gum would be brought by diggers to Matakohe and the cousins would frequently travel around gumfields in Northern and Southern Wairoa purchasing large quantities. It was taken in bags on horse drawn carts to the wharf on Kaipara Harbour, by steamer to Helensville and by train to Auckland, the same route in reverse bringing in supplies and stock for the shop. The families all pitched in getting the goods up from the wharf.

Even though they had virtually no capital it was not long before they were prospering and the business expanded rapidly. Within a year two more stores were opened – at Ru Point and Opitonui where Max also ran the local Post and Telegraph Office which was later burnt down. Soon they took up a lease of some 40,000 acres of native land and started buying gum from the diggers who were mainly Maori and Dalmatians. The gum was all shapes and sizes and covered with dirt which the diggers would scrape off. As business prospered other leases were acquired and in the summer as many as 100 gum diggers would be employed.

The prosperous times did not last. The 1930’s came and with them the Great Depression. The Kauri Gum Industry collapsed completely. Gum became unsaleable due to a cheap synthetic substitute being developed for varnish and linoleum manufacture. Louis, said to be one of the first car owners in Auckland, died on 1 Feb 1933 when his car crashed into a horse drawn lorry in Beach Road, near Auckland Railway Station, probably due to a heart attack.

Max continued the business concentrating on property purchase and management including Brighton Hall Flats in Brighton Road, Parnell – Spanish Mission style, flats in Royal Oak and office/shops in Eden Terrace. Patsy remembers doing the rounds of these premises with her grandfather, collecting the rent.

18. NATHANIEL JOHN³ ISAACS rd (JACOB MYER², MYER SAMUEL¹) (Source: (1) Family tree prepared by Elizabeth (Liz) Anne Foord in 1997. (2) “The First Jewish Cemetery: Colonial Jewry in Wellington”.) was born 25 September 1846 in Sydney, Australia, and died February 20, 1888 in Wellington, New Zealand. He married KATE LEVI 30  December 1874 in N. Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. She died in 1924.

Notes for NATHANIEL JOHN ISAACS:

Nathaniel or Nate Isaacs was born in 1847 in Sydney, Australia, and died at age 41 on 24 February 1888. He was married to Kate Levi, and they had six children. He moved to New Zealand in about 1868. He was employed for some years as a commercial traveler for Messrs. Lewis Bros. of Auckland. In about 1876, he settled in Wellington, New Zealand, where he started a business as an auctioneer. Later he became a licensed victualler, then auctioneer again, and then landlord of the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel.

Source: Evening Post, 24 February 1888, reprinted in “The First Jewish Cemetery: Colonial Jewry in Wellington”

According to Mary Watson of Auckland, New Zealand, writing in 2010, Nathanial was among the first Isaacs to emigrate to New Zealand. Nathaniel John Isaacs came to New Zealand in about 1868. He was employed for some years as a commercial traveller for Lewis Bros, settling in Wellington in 1876 as an auctioneer. The chain may have worked as follows. Edward Lewis arrived 6 Sep 1855, and Henry possibly in the same year (he claimed he was in Sydney in 1854). Gabriel and Michael came on the same ship in 1856. One of their sisters, Matilda Lewis, appears in the United Kingdom Census in 1861, arrived in Auckland in 1865 and was married there 13 November 1867 (clearly not an arranged marriage). A descendent of Matilda is adamant that Gabriel was the instigator of the chain – hard to believe looking at the dates. At any rate, Mary Watson guesses that Rebecca encouraged Nathaniel John’s emigration and found him work in her husband’s business. Quite a miracle as Lewis Bros went bust twice between 1867 and 1878. This was a common fate as the colony struggled mightily to find a raison d’etre.

Notes for KATE LEVI: Job: Management of Duke of Edinburgh Hotel. Kate Levi’s husband died when he was quite young and she was left with six children to bring up on her own. She took over the management of the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel from her late husband. She also received assistance from the Wellington Hebrew congregation.

Notes for BARNARD ISAACS: Professor Barnard (Barney) Haysack was born in 1856 as Barnard Isaacs. There is some confusion about whether is first name was Barnard or Barnett. At some point he changed his last name to Haysack. An obituary from the May 13, 1904 Bayswater Chronicle describes him as Professor Haysack, “one of the foremost teachers of oratory” in England. The obituary says that he “inherited his father’s gifts of both intellect and eloquence, and was equally successful in the fields of oratory, elocution and literature. As a teacher he had few rivals, some of the most prominent members of both Houses of Parliament being his pupils.” He died at the age of 47. ( Source: Bayswater Chronicle obituary, 13 May 1904)
