Jacob Edelman was born 15 Mar 1903, the eldest son of Morris Edelman<\/a> and Rose Goldman. He is the granduncle of my son-in-law, half-brother of his grandfather.<\/p>\n

I have written about Rose before<\/a>, her story is a sad one. When Jacob’s father died in 1912 of tuberculosis, the three eldest children spent some time in the Hebrew Orphan Asylum. The remarks on the intake card are<\/p>\n

No insurance. Man was ill + out of work 18 weeks. Woman lived on
\n?? – now exhausted. Woman expects to work. Had no assistance.
\nUHC has offered rent + 3 per week, but she considered that
\ninadequate. No relations able to assist(1)<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJacob at first ran away from the Asylum (as an 8 jr old), but ends up going in and out, as his mother’s circumstances change with her getting together with Samuel Widoff. I have still not been able to find a marriage certificate for Rose and Samuel, or a birth certificate of the half-brother Joseph.<\/p>\n

Jacob goes on to marry Lena Medwin, daughter\u00a0 of\u00a0Sam Medwin and Tillie Datoff, in 1929. Nothing more is known about them. Possibly Lena died in 1933, a Lena Edelman of the appropriate age is buried in Montefiore Cemetery (but I have not pursued that yet.) I cannot find Jacob in any census after 1925. While in 1930 Rose’s other children are still living with her, Jacob is not. Where did he go?<\/p>\n

(1) If any one can read the words where I have ??, I would really appreciate it, if you let me know. And if you know more about Jacob and Lena, the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
