| e-mail 6 Oct 07 –You list a Sadie Mayer born in Jersey City. I had a grandmother–Sadie–born in 1866–who married Aaron Mayer. They were my grandparents. They both died at age 89–he in 1945 and she in 1955. Aaron owned a pawnshop (the oldest in Jersey City)–at the corner of Newark and Jersey Avenues. The building burned to the ground many years ago—and my father sold the land for 15,000 dollars. I remember his showing me the check. The store was owned jointly with Leo Rice. Thanks, Steve Kohn |
