In 1940, Melvin, his parents, elder sister Anna and younger sister Ruth lived at 282 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn.[2]
Melvin served in the U.S. Army from 20 November 1953 through 8 November 1955.[3]
Based upon his gravestone inscription, we know that he married and had children. In New York State, marriage records are not available for public view until 75 years after the event. Birth records are not available for 100 years and death records for 50. A search of newspaper archives for the New York Times and Brooklyn Eagle, as well as New York newspapers digitized and online at FultonHistory.com, located no documentation of marriage or death for Melvin.
Melvin Cohen's last residence was in Staten Island, Richmond County, New York.[4]
His grave is in the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association plot in Beth Moses Cemetery, block 24, Maccabee Road, Pinelawn, New York.
