  • [S632] The biographical sketch for Morris Slobodien implies that his father, Solomon, was alive in 1898 and still resided in Russia at that time. As of August 2010, Carl Fields is unaware of any evidence Solomon entered the US (or left Russia) after that sketch was generated.
  • [S634] The biographical sketch for Morris Slobodien lists siblings (in particular, Freddie, Elizabeth, Michael) who (1) do not seem to have entered the United States (based on evidence known to Carl Fields as of August 2010) and (2) have quite "American-sounding" forenames. It seems possible that these names were Americanized or are in error (although both of these possibilties are speculation). Example of possible errors are confusion of Morris's son Michael with a brother (who apparently remained in Russia) and use of two alternative names for one individual (for example, Sheane could be an alternative name for Sheana).

  • [S987] Frank Chamberlain Grave Marker Greenwood Cemetery, Phoenix, Arizona; recorded by Carl Fields, March 2005. Marker is near marker for Mamie H.

The "marker name" used in this citation most likely corresponds to the name on the marker or on burial records (e.g., married surnames may appear for women). The name "Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery" was in use in March 2005 (and is current as of May 2013). This cemetery was created in 1989 by the merger of the adjacent Greenwood and Memory Lawn Cemeteries. Several family members were interred before that merger, so their burial records, obituaries, death certificates, etc., will use one of the older names, probably most commonly the Greenwood name.

This memorial includes three photos of the grave marker and a fairly detailed obiturary stated to have first been published in the Borger News Herald (Borger, Texas, apparently), 22 Sep 1952. Some family history information was inferred from information in the obit (Coble half-siblings are examples of these inferred items). Information in the obit indicates his two youngest half-sisters (called Cassie and Tishie in the 1902 ceneus) were Mrs Otis Price and Mrs Charles Remy in 1952 (both living in Ada OK). However, it is not possible from this obit to determine which half-sister was married to each of these individuals. The names of these two youngest half sisters was quickly looked up in the William Russell Holt household in the 1910 census (via Ancestry.com) to determine their names for use in entering information from this Find-a-Grave source. The information from the William Russel Holt household in the 1910 census has not yet been systematically entered onto this database as this is written in August 2013.
  • [S1185] Carl Fields, "Personal Recollections about Rose Golosoff" :

    The following several paragraphs are based on “memories” I “donated” to what I think of as the Segal Family Geni Web Site. These were composed around late summer 2010.

    From about 1936 to about 1952, she lived at 272 Market Street in Perth Amboy, NJ. From perhaps 1953 until her death, she lived in an apartment at 120 Woodnor Court in New Brunswick, NJ (this is in the Livingston Gardens apartment complex). For perhaps a year around 1953-1954, she and her mother lived in an apartment on the second floor of a house on Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick.

    She worked for many years at what was (for a long time) known as the Middlesex County TB Society (now probably know as something like the Lung Association). The start and end years of her employment listed in the narrative are estimates. At various times in her career there she seems to have been known as a secretary, an administrative assistant, and a health education specialist.

    From around 1956 until the end of her life, she attended a one-night-per-week painting class. She produced a large number of paintings (many of them quite good -- although perhaps family members are not highly qualified to judge this). Most of her paintings seem to be unsigned and, except for certain ones she kept to hang in her apartment, all were given as gifts to friends and relatives.

    Aunt Rose took me on one of the most exciting trips of my life when I was perhaps 5 or 6 years old (perhaps 1950 or 1951). We went from Perth Amboy to New York City (Manhattan).

    My memory of the trip starts at the Perth Amboy waterfront, at the ferry landing. We took a ferry to Staten Island, then a train across Staten Island to the North Shore, then another ferry to lower Manhattan, and then a train (subway) to wherever it was we were going. TWO ferry rides and TWO train rides -- you can't have a better trip than that for a young boy -- and then, quite likely, the same, in reverse, on the way back. (We probably started -- and ended -- the trip with a city bus ride to the ferry landing, but, if so, I don't have a memory of that.

    I am the eldest of Aunt Roses's nieces and nephews. I imagine at least some of the others were later treated to this same trip.

    Later, after she moved to New Brunswick, there were a few other trips with her to New York. However, these were on an intercity (express -- or almost express) bus to the mid-town Port Authority Bus Terminal (and, still later, when I was a young teenager, I was able to go myself by bus). However, that bus trip (no matter how convenient) was not NEARLY as memorable as the ferry-train-ferry-train combination. (I'm not sure if Perth Amboy had direct bus service to Manhattan in the early 1950s, or if the way we went was the only way to go by public transportation.)

    The other thing I remember from that ferry-train-ferry-train trip (I'm almost certain it was that same trip) was lunch at an automat (which I later -- much later -- found out was called something like Horn and Hardart’s -- I ate at one of these again around 1963, and by then it had lost almost all it's charm, perhaps due to coin-operated vending machines having become more common). Aunt Rose knew how to impress youngsters! (It's almost redundant to call this a memorable trip, since here I am writing about it about 60 years later.)

    I'm not certain where else we went on that trip (after the trip itself, the destination was probably a letdown). However one place I remember her taking me (possibly on this trip) was Hayden Planetarium -- a destination likely suggested to her by my affection for science fiction TV programs (such as "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet" and "Captain Video") -- this was in the very early years of fairly widespread commercial TV. I used the term science fiction here, but I probably did not hear that term until several years later.

    I seem to recall she wrote me that she was serving on a grand jury – probably some time in the 1960s.
  • [S1279] "Rose Golosoff, 69, Perth Amboy native," The News-Tribune (Woodbridge NJ), 16 May 1978, page number not recorded. This article probably contains an error in the year of her retirement. It was probably more like 1973 than 1963. A less serious error is that she probably lived in New Brunswick for more like 27 years, rather than 30 years as stated in the article

    This is one of several articles accessed by Carl Fields via microfilm at the Perth Amboy New Jersey public library on 30 Aug 2011. Most (but not all) of these articles were obituaries or death notices. Digital photographs were taken off the microfilm viewer viewscreen. In a few instances, Carl neglected to record the page number of the issue of the newspaper where the article appeared (or else the page number is uncertain for other reasons). In some cases, obituaries and death notices may have been confused with one another. In a few instances, the same issue of the newspaper contained both a death notice and an obituary (usually on the same page). The name of the newspaper changed a few times starting in the 1960s, apparently due to reorganizations and mergers. The dates in these citations refer to when the news article appeared, which was almost always at least a day after the event described in the article took place.

    Text of obit follows:

    John Zachary Taylor Nelson

    J. Z. T. Nelson was born Oct. 13, 1849 and departed this life at his home near Montauk, March 20, 1920.
    On July 27, 1872, he was united in matrimony to Miss Caroline Brigman and to this union were born fifteen children. Six boys and nine girls. One boy and one girl died in infancy and the rest are all living within six miles of him, at the time of his death, and one girl being single at home. He leaves also thirty-nine grandchildren all living.
    Uncle John had lived in Dent County almost sixty years and was elected collector on the Democrat ticket in 1896. He was a man who kept his worries and did not worry his fellow men.
    He was baptized and united with the Baptist Church in 1872. He had been in poor health for two years and realized that the time was near when he must depart from this life.
    He had many friends who will greatly miss him and he will also be greatly missed at his home.
    The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Andrew Davis of Licking and the burial took place in Mt. Olive Cemetery.
