Treasure Chest Thursday: Samuel Schwartz advertisement, FLPBA 25th anniversary publication

More Sam Schwartz! In my last post I spoke about glazier Sam Schwartz married to Eva. Today we learn about Sam Schwartz, a glazier married to Fannie.

"Mr. and Mrs. Sam Schwartz and Sons," in this case, are Sam and Fannie Schwartz and their sons Harry and David. 

Sam arrived in the United States on the S.S. Grant on 1 August 1912. He was 27, married, a bookbinder and had left his wife, Peisie, behind.[1] He reported that he would be meeting his cousin Louis Myers in New York City. It is possible that Sam was a cousin to Louis (my great great uncle), but that name is, thus far, not a known name in my family. At least, Sam and Louis were from the same town: Labun.

I do not actually have any records of Louis Myers either living or working at that address. His brother, Myer Myers, however, had his glass store at that address from about 1913 to 1916.

Sam and his family lived in their home in Queens for several years.[2] After his death in 1936, Fannie, Harry and his wife Miriam and David continued to live in the house.[3]
