  • Notes 
    • According to Joseph's passport application dated May 14, 1923, Joseph was born on September 15, 1893, his middle name was "Selig", and he was an "importer".

      According to the passenger records of the Ellis Island Foundation (ellisisland.org), Joseph (age 29), his wife Sara (age 26) and their son Seymour (age 5) arrived at Ellis Island on August 31, 1923 aboard the ship Resolute from Hamburg, Germany. At that time, they were already U.S. citizen and lived in Brooklyn, N.Y. According to Mel Hindin, Joseph was very wealthy.

      According to the 1920 Census (which is very difficult to read), Joseph (age 26) was living with his wife Sara (age 23) and their son Seymour (age 2-1/2) at 570 East Second Street, Brooklyn, New York. Joseph was born in New York. Sara was born in Russia, where she spoke Hebrew at home. Both his and her parents were born in Russia and spoke Hebrew. He was a manager of a flower shop.
