Treasure Chest Thursday: Mr. & Mrs. Joe Norflus advertisement, FLPBA 1949 Anniversary publication

Joe and Fannie Norflus worked together as glaziers in their store in New York City. It was Fannie who was born in Labun - the community associated with the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association. She was the daughter of Joseph and Anna Kargman and arrived in the USA in 1921 at the age of 23 with her parents and sister, Sarah.[1]

Joe's 1942 World War II draft registration card indicates he was born in Warsaw.[2] He and Fannie married on 7 January 1926 in Brooklyn.[3]

They had two sons: Morris (born about 1926) and David (born about 1930).[4] The family lived for many years at 1605 Fulton Street in Brooklyn.
