Margaret Jane Pease probably died on 31 December 1997 at Walnut Ridge, Lawrence County, Kentucky. However, the year listed on her grave marker is 1977 (this is probably an error, since the Social Security death index seems to support the 1997 date). She died in a nursing home. She may have moved to Walnut Ridge, from Newport, Arkansas, only shortly prior to her death. Her Social Security death index entry suggests her last benefit was paid to Newport and her obituary indicates her surviving daughter Juanita, living in Walnut Ridge, was "formerly of Newport."^1,4 She was buried at Pleasant Plains Cemetery, Pleasant Plains, Independence County, Arkansas.¹

Early research incorrectly associated her with a different person whose married name was Ruby Eberle and who was recorded as liveing in central Oklahoma in the 1940 census.

Wylo Dean Baldwin was listed as Willis D Baldwin on one source document.² She may also have been known as Nadiene Baldwin.

Her death certificate lists her cause of death as pneumonia, with a contributory cause of "organic heart (mitral regurgitation)". The death certificate lists her occupation as "schoolgirl". It lists "city" of death as Seminole (followed by a number, "6758" whose signifigance is not known, but "67" seems to a numeric designation for Seminole County). This may indicate a mailing address (i.e., the nearest mailing address), since it also seems to provide "coordinates" for a location outside of town, "mile W, 1/2 So". These "coordinates" differ somewhat from those listed on the death certificate of her father, L. H. Baldwin, who died in 1942. The informant on the death certificate is Ruby Payne, her half sister (no address listed).^1,3

Her death certificate indicates she died from cardiac arrest (due to acute myocardial infarction with cerebral thrombosis as a contributing to death). She was widowed and lived at 3554 N. Duke (Space 148), Fresno, Fresno County, California, at the time of her death (this address appears to have been within the Country Living Mobil Home Park).

Maxine Hazel Baldwin's Social Security Number was 444-18-2364.³

He was known Moshe Leib Segal within his family after coming to the United States. Prior to coming to the US, the family name was Ziegelneitski (sometimes with alternative spellings such as Ziegelneitsky or Tzieglneithsky).¹⁹ Moses Segal's date of birth is generally listed as on 20 September 1848 in Lithuania, which was then part of the Russian Empire. In this context,"Lithuania" may refer to regions that were once part of historic Lithuania of the 1600s and 1700s, which was much larger than the smaller country with that name in the 20th century and the early 21st century.^18,19

Moses Segal immigrated circa 1867 to Berdjansk, Russia, which is on the north shore of the Sea of Azov -- part of the Russian Empire; it is now in Ukraine, but was in Taurdia Gubernia of Russia in the late 1800s.¹⁹

Moshe Leib Segal married Reisel Golosoff, daughter of Leo Golosoff and Ida Trivus, circa 1867 probably in or near Berdjansk, Russia, (and probably after Moses had immigrated to the Berdjansk region).^19,20

His occupation in Russia prior to immigration has been described as a grocer in one source. However, a second source characterized it as owning a store near the waterfront that sold all types of supplies to boats and to seamen before 1906.²¹

Moses Segal entered the United States at New York, New York, on 3 March 1906 as part of an extended family consisting of Moses Segal, Reisel Golosoff, Harry Segal, Hannah Yowell, Constant Segal, Nathan Golosoff, Anna Segal and Jeannette Golosoff. They traveled on board the SS Chemintz, which was operated by the North German (Nord Deutsch) Lloyd line. They had sailed from Bremen, Germany on 17 February 1906. The Chemnitz passenger list indicates: (1) the group traveled as second class passengers; (2) they entered the US with $713 among them; (3) their final destination in the US was Perth Amboy, New Jersey; and (4) they intended to join a relative, Joseph Slobodien, a brother-in-law of Moses Segal, who lived in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.²² Moses Segal was listed as a merchant on the ship passenger list upon his entry to the United States.²²

Moses Segal's lived in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, United States, after 1908. Circa 1910 he lived at 293 Hall Avenue (apparently above a dry goods store he operated at that time). In 1912 his residence was listed as 145 Smith Street (perhaps above the Slobodien Shoe Store). In 1912, he was listed as operating two different stores: a dry goods store at 293 Hall Avenue and apparently a store selling suits at 288 Smith Street, both in Perth Amboy.^21,23,5

Moshe Leib Segal was listed as the contact in the United States when Rachel Golosoff, Sophia Slatkoff, Anna Slatkoff and Samuel Philip Slatkoff entered the United States on on 27 August 1912.²⁴

Moses Segal appeared on the New Jersey state census of 1915 at 419? Division Street (3rd Ward), Perth Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey.¹⁶ He was listed as a landlord in the 1915 New Jersey state census in 1915.¹⁶ He lived in 1916 at 415 Division Street, Perth Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey.

In 1917 Moses Segal lived at 442 Amboy Avenue, Perth Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey. This location was probably in an apartment over the dry goods store operated by his sons, Harry and Constant Segal, about this time (the store address was often listed as 440-444 Amboy Avenue -- Harry seems to have sold out to Constant around 1918; Constant continued to operate the store into the 1950s).²⁵

Between 1918 and 1920 Moses Segal lived at 164 Broad Street, Perth Amboy, New Jersey.

Moses Segal and Reisel Golosoff were apparently missed in the United States census of 1920.
