Treasure Chest Thursday: Harry Kargman family advertisement, FLPBA 1949 anniversary publication

Aron (later Harry) Kargman was both born in 1884 in Labun. Sarah was born in 1892 in Polonnoye, a town about ten miles to the northeast. Harry and Sarah were married in this area of the  Russian Empire before Harry became an immigrant 1912.[1] He joined his brother Louis in New York City. 

According to census records, Sarah followed several years later in about 1920.[2] Their only child Edward was born on 25 March 1930.[3]

Harry's manifest identified him as a tailor. But later, like his brother, he became a glazier. His 1942 World War II draft registration shows that his glass business was called Pacific Glass Company, Inc., located at 1833 Fulton Street, Brooklyn.[4]

Edward enlisted in the National Guard in Brooklyn on 21 June 1948 and served through February 1951.[5] He later owned a check cashing business in Brooklyn. 

Harry passed away on 22 April 1953 and Sarah died in 1967.[6] I do not know where they were buried. Their graves are not in the any of the three First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association burial plots.

There are a couple of newspaper articles over the years when robberies were attempted at the Edward's store. Ultimately, Edward was shot in the stomach during a robbery attempt in June 1970.[7] He died of his wounds nine days later at the age of 40.
