Nathan
Kronis
Nathan Kronis was a founder and early officer of Knesseth
Israel synagogue and acting trustee in the purchase of
the Synagogue’s cemetery. Born in the Ukraine, he
immigrated to Canada where he trained as a cabinet-maker
and later found employment at the Heintzman and Company
Limited piano factory. Nathan was an immensely charitable
man and was viewed by many people as a patriarch of the
Jewish community. He was married for over sixty years
to Sima Kronis and had five sons: Sam, Barney, Harry,
Dave, and Max. He lived on Maria
Street
from 1911 until his passing in 1972 at the age of 90.
