Second Generation

5. Nathan Ribok^1,2,3 was born in 1886 in Wilna, Russia.¹ His World War I Draft Registration Card gives his year of birth as 1884. He died in 1971.⁴ He was a carpenter. On his 1918 World War I Draft Registration Card, he lists his occupation as carpenter and his employer as Daniel Ribeck. Sam Ribok told a story that Nathan Ribok was "not too sharp." When he studied with the Rebbe at the chedar, the Rebbe was disgusted that he was a slow learner and whacked him on the head.

Sam remembers that he lived in Mattapan and Dorchester. He may have lived in Chelsea. (Interview with Sam Ribok during the Boston Summer Seminar in 1996)

When Chuck Ribok went to Tuft's Art School, Nathan's granddaughter was in his class--but she spelled her surname differently--"Riebock" or "Ribeck".
