Tombstone Tuesday: Sidney and Etta Bauman, Beth Moses Cemetery, Pinelawn, NY

A while back I discussed Isidore Bauman and his wife Ida Molthman Bauman who's graves are in one of the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association plots at Montefiore Cemetery in Queens, NY. Sidney Bauman was Isidore's brother. Sidney took a more circuitous route to the United States from their common birthplace and residence of Labun/Lubin, Russian Empire.

Isidore Bauman traveled twice to the United States: first from Rotterdam in 1910 and second from Bremen.[1] Undoubtedly, by the time Sidney, who was about 14 years younger than Isidore, left Eastern Europe, immigration quotas assigned to source-countries made entry to the United States more difficult. It was likely for this reason, that Schaia Boimelman (later Sidney Bauman) spent several years in Buenos Aires, Argentina before traveling to the United States in January 1924.[2]  

Etta Sheinman arrived in the USA about 1914 and married Sidney in the Bronx on 23 January 1932.[3] I have not yet ordered a copy of their marriage certificate from the New York City Municipal Archives. Interestingly, however, the record has been indexed on Ancestry and Italian Genealogy Group, but not yet found within the FamilySearch New York City marriages database. She was the daughter of Abraham and Dina Sheinman.[4] Her brother, Isidore, a pharmacist, signed as a witness for Sidney when he naturalized.[3]

When he naturalized in 1937, Sidney reported that his occupation was "installment dealer." But, by the 1940 census enumeration, he, like his brother, Isidore, was a dry goods dealer.[5] Sidney and Etta lived on Pelham Parkway in the Bronx and, in 1940, had one child: Alvin, born in 1934.

Sidney and Etta are buried in the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association plot in Beth Moses Cemetery in Pinelawn, New York, block 24, Maccabee Road.

  1. Thank you for the picture of the cemetery! I'm just looking up Jewish genealogy blogs and found your site. I just recently learned we also have family in the Montefiore Cemetery
