ISRAEL DAVID ROSENBLOOM
Barysaw, Belarus
late 1920s
Israel David (Srul) ben Yaakov and Shayna Libe
Rosenbloom and his wife Etta Bryna (surname unknown, but
may have been Lichtman or Lichterman) had four daughters
in the 1880s, followed by a son in 1894. Then she died in
1896. Srul remarried, and the second wife was a widow with
a daughter and son from her first husband. Together they
had a son and a daughter. The son was killed at the end of
WWI or shortly thereafter in son kind of local
disturbance. The daughter became a physician and lived in
Moscow, but all contact was lost with her after 1930.
After WWI, Srul and his wife and her married daughter went
to (or were sent to) Penza, where he lived until his
death, sometime in the 1930s. He lived to see at least two
great granddaughters, from his eldest daughter. The other
four of his children from his first marriage went to the
United States before WWI, though two of them died soon
afterwards. Several of them were Socialist
revolutionaries. One was sent to Siberia for two years
after the first revolution, and another was arrested three
times by the local police, who were relieved to find she
had gone of to America, when they came for her a fourth
time. |
