By 1940, the older generation had passed and some of the children had also. Myer, the first to emigrate to the USA in 1902, died in 1936 (in Monticello, NY where he'd retired to the Catskills), Louis in 1938 (in the Bronx), and Rebecca Myers Sotskess in January 1940 (in Manhattan). Eldest daughter, Sarah Myers Morris was discussed in a previous blog post with her Morris Family - so she won't be discussed here.
