IN OUR HEARTS

YOU LIVE FOREVER

Rose Liebross was the second child of Louis and Bertha Liebross was born about 1889 in Radautz, Austrian Empire (today Radauti, Romania) and came to the United States in 1898 on the Britannic from Liverpool with her mother and seven brothers and sisters. [1] Her father had emigrated six months earlier. [2]

She is buried in Mount Lebanon Cemetery, Queens, New York in the Minsker Independent Benevolent Association plot, Block 101, Section 1, Subsection 11, Line 4, Grave 6. I do not know why she is the only Liebross buried in the Minsker plot. Nearly all the other members of her family are buried in the Workmen's Circle area of the cemetery. Her ex-husband, Dr. Nathan Bernstein, a dentist who died on 6 November 1937, was buried in a grave in the Workmen's Circle section. Rose had no children.

The following notice appeared on 25 November 1955 in the New York Times.
