Our beloved father

May his soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life
ZACHARY
MYERS
DIED
MAR. 25, 1933
Age 80 yrs

BELOVED
FATHER
Zachary Myers was the brother of my great great grandfather David Myers. Zachary and David were born in Labun, Russian Empire, to Yisrael Malzmann.
I have contradictory information regarding their mother's name. David's death certificate reports "Dora Martman" while Zachary's indicates "Minnie Saltzberg." It will likely take additional records to begin to resolve this issue.
Zachary arrived in New York in 1922, several years after most of his relatives, including his two sons: Jacob and Israel Myers.[1, 2, & 3]
Zachary's manifest indicates that he was divorced from his wife. Jacob's marriage record indicate that his mother's name had been Frieda Kargman.[4] I have no evidence that she ever emigrated to the United States although there are people with the surname Kargman also buried in the two First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association plots at Old Montefiore Cemetery in Queens, New York. Jacob and his wife Bertha had a son, Fred, born in 1921 who might have been named after his grandmother, Frieda.
