Treasure Chest Thursday: First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association 25th anniversary, Part 2

A few months ago I acquired copies of several pages of a publication printed in honor of the anniversary of the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association (FLPBA), a landsmanshaft (community organization) in New York City. An earlier post on this publication may be found here.

Today's page is a continuation of the previous list of leaders of the organization during the 25th anniversary year.

Max Garber, Abraham Krakowsky, Abraham Sotskess, and Joseph Myers were covered in the previous post.

Samuel Myers is an example of a likely relative for whom I have yet to find a link. He arrived in the United States with the surname Meyers traveling with my great grandmother Sarah's brother Herschel (Harry), said he was from Lubin, said his father was David, and said he was going to stay with his brother Louis.[1] All these things were not true (except maybe the part about staying with Louis Myers - who was not his brother). 

Like nearly all my Myers relatives he did become a glazier. Louis Myers, my great grandmother Sarah's brother, shows up as a witness to Sam's marriage - so, obviously, the families kept in contact.[2]

Subsequent documents and the fact that no one knowledgeable about the family identified Sam as one of the Myers brothers (Myer, Louis, Joseph and Harry), cast doubt on Sam's manifest claims. His marriage record and his SS-5 (Social Security card application form) identify his father as Elias and his mother as Sarah Mogelevsky (who is buried in one of the FLPBA plots in Montefiore cemetery) - not David Myers and Ida Kesselman. Both his World War I and World War II draft registration cards indicate that he was born in Podolia Gubernia - not nearby Volhynia Gubernia where Lubin is located.[3]

When Meyer Schultz arrived at Ellis Island on 3 July 1913 he stated that he was heading to his cousin B. Molthman.[4] Benjamin Molthman's was Isidore Bauman's father-in-law. Meyer, like many of his landsmen a glazier, married his wife Rose (likely in New York City). They later had three daughters.

Isidore Bauman came to the United States at least twice: on 14 June 1910 and on 15 February 1913.[5] He married fellow Lubiner Ida Molthman (daughter of Benjamin) on 8 January 1916.[6] They had four children: Raymond, Shirley, Philip and Rebecca.
