Joseph Myers was discussed earlier in this series because he was identified as the Ex-Treasurer of the FLPBA and his photo is shared earlier in the publication. But I have also previously blogged about his gravestone and his and Rose Adler's marriage certificate. He was the brother of my great grandmother Sarah Myers Morris (Malzmann Mazewitsky).
Joseph, another Lubin glazier, and his wife Rose had a daughter and a son who lived to adulthood: Lillian Myers Langer and Eugene Myers.
In the 1930 Census and a 1933 New York City Directory, the family was recorded at 219 E. 40th Street, New York, NY.[1]
By the 1940 census, they were enumerated at 155 E. 39th Street where they paid $45 each month for rent.[2] Joseph is listed as owning a retail picture framing business. In answer to the census question regarding their residence in April 1935, the response was "same place" (meaning same city) rather than "same house." The family likely moved to 155 E. 39th Street sometime in either late 1935 or early 1936 - before the FLPBA 25th anniversary.
By the time Joe registered for the WWII draft (April 1942), he resided at 212 E. 39th Street.[3]
I tried to locate the building on Google Street View, but it appears that the building in that spot is of more recent construction.
