159 Richard Henry Nelson was the second Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany in the The Death Notice

"The Rt. Rev. Richard Henry Nelson, seventy-one, retired Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Albany, died Saturday noon at his home, 146 Chestnut street, Albany, following an acute illness of three days. The Bishop and Mrs. Nelson had returned to that city from their winter home at Fort Myers, Fla. on Monday. The effects of a severe heart attack last spring had apparently been overcome. Developing a fever Wednesday, Bishop Nelson became steadily worse and hope was abandoned Friday night. Relinquishing his duties as diocesan two years and a half ago, Bishop Nelson was one of the best loved prelates in the American Church. His episcopate of a quarter of a century was marked by an intense reciprocal love between himself and his clergy. The energy expended by the Bishop in his endeavors to improve the welfare of the parish priests of his diocese, one of the largest in America, was the primary cause of his death. Although his title was that of coadjutor bishop for nine years, he actually performed the duties of the chief pastor of the diocese for twenty-four years. Bishop Nelson was born in New York city, November 10, 1859. He was educated in the schools of the city and at Trinity College, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Leipsig, Yale University and the Berkeley Divinity School. His ministry began in 1883 when he was ordered deacon by Bishop John Williams. He was ordained a priest in 1884 by the same prelate and in January of the same year married Miss Harriet Schuyler Anderson of Stamford, Conn. Consecrated bishop in 1904 as coadjutor to the late Bishop William Croswell Doane, Bishop Nelson almost immediately had to assume charge of both the administrative work of the cathedral and its many institutions in Albany, as well as the pastoral care of the far flung missions lying chiefly in the Adirondacks ... Bishop Nelson is survived by his wife and two sons, Richard McD. Nelson of Boston and John J. Nelson of New Mexico. The funeral was held Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock at the Cathedral of All Saints in Albany. Following the services, the body was taken to Poughkeepsie for burial beside the grave of a daughter. Bishop G. Ashton Oldham officiated. A memorial service in honor of the deceased prelate was held at Christ Church in Cooperstown on Tuesday morning at which the rector, the Rev. Father Miles Yates officiated."

197 Yitzhak was born in Ana in 1860. He immigrated early to Egypt and settled down there. He married Rahma of the House of Suweri (Soueri) and they had only one daughter, Mass'ouda.

Ytzhak's grandson, Albert, reported that his grandfather had a shop in Aswan, headquarters of the Angl-Egyptian army which was commanded by General Kitchener.

Grandson Albert reported that his grandfather told him Kitchener needed to know who were the arm suppliers to the forces of Al-Mahdi's successor, Khalifa Abdullahi. Yitzhak, aged 38, agreed to go undercover and pretended to be an arab with a caravan of goods for the Khalifa. In return for the donations of goods, Khalifa gave Yitzhak two Sudanese slaves, a couple aged 3 and 4.

Once Yitzhak uncovered the source of arms were Egyptian officers, he returned to General Kitchener with the information and was rewarded with lands in the fertile region of Aljazira (The Island), not far from Wadi Madani.

The girl slave died aged 16, but the boy stayed with the Anbar family in Egypt until he was 30 years of age, when he was found a job as a porter at a local bank in Cairo. It is said the servants son grew to attend university and worked at the same bank where his father had worked as a porter.

Grandaughter Eugenie remembers being at the Country Club of Bani-Swef, south of Cairo, and being formally saluted by veterans of the Sudan War once it transpired that she was a granddaughter of Yithak. Clearly Yotzhak was admired by members of the Anglo-Egyptian forces.

He would frequently visit his niece in the Sudan and the family in Khartoum had a cupboard named Yitzhak in his honor.
