This is a passport photo of Chaja,
the mother or Sora Ruchla (Rose) Uscien, who married
Harry Levine.

Isser Uscien, who worked as a tailor, was one of Chaja's sons and
one of Rose's brothers (bottom, left); two of Isser's daughters, names unknown (bottom, right), all
lived in Ostrow Mazowiecka, Poland.
|
| Rose was the youngest of at least seven
children of Chaja (the eldest child of Mortek Szczupakiewicz
and Itka Isser) and Kisiel Fajbus Uscien.
Rose married Harry Levine in Poland cir 1912, and at some
point he immigrated to the U.S. without his wife and child.
In 1921, Rose and daughter Chawa (Eva) followed Harry to the
United States. Rose is a first cousin to both Chaim, Motel
and Perel Szczupakiewicz, who were the children of Juszk
Szczupakiewicz and Itka Gniazdowicz, a sister of my
great grandfather Srulka, who was a milarz, or flour miller,
who lived in Koskowo, a shtetl outside of Sniadowo in
northeast Poland.
Harry and Rose lived on Driggs Avenue in Brooklyn. He worked a cobbler and had a store on Central Avenue in
Brooklyn, near the store of his son-in-law Irving Bibicoff,
who was a glazier and owned a glass shop. |
